Get a taste of Urban Studies

Are you fascinated by cities, their complexity and the role they play? Are you eager to learn how to solve problems we encounter every day and will encounter in the future?

Cities are more relevant than ever. They play an increasingly important role in the issues of this time: climate change, inequality, safety and health. Our Urban Studies programme gives you the opportunity to become a problem solver, teaching you how to develop real-life answers to today’s and tomorrow’s urban challenges. You can get a taste of what a Urban studies lecture and workgroup looks and feels like during the Experience Day and of course, chat with current students too.
