Providing a genuinely interdisciplinary perspective on urban studies, students pursue a core trajectory of shared courses while enjoying the flexibility to specialize through individual selection from an extensive range of electives. Our education combines theoretical courses with field observation, excursions and hands-on applied activities. The programme is designed to cultivate a cohort of adept urban researchers and professionals capable of effecting meaningful change within the European context and beyond. The 120 ECTS curriculum combines the attractiveness of a flexible, modular and interdisciplinary programme that allows you to focus on your own interests within the domain of urban studies, with a common core of compulsory courses to ensure that you develop the necessary urban skills and competences. Year 1 is largely dedicated to the core set of compulsory courses (53 ECTS), introducing you to the field of interdisciplinary urban studies. This includes thematic and theoretical courses such as Urban Political Economy , Global Urban Studies , Urban History or Greening the City , a public lecture series ( StadsSalonsUrbains ) with a yearly changing line-up of international speakers, and a dedicated course on Brussels ( Brussels, Reading the City ). The core also offers hands-on methods and skills training in urban research with students working in small groups and interacting with public or private organizations ( Project Seminar in Applied Urban Research ).

We also support you in developing your master's thesis ( Research Design in Urban Studies ) and there is limited space to choose a number of elective courses.
