Global Urbanism MASc

UCL (University College London)

Our Master of Arts and Sciences degree will equip you with the critical skills and specialist knowledge to operate as an urbanist in today's global environment, collaborating across sectors to tackle urgent challenges and shape fairer cities. Cities are complex, diverse, and globally interconnected. To develop insights into global urban experiences and respond to contemporary challenges we need to collaborate and build knowledge across often very different locations, and to draw on multiple academic disciplines, professions and communities. The Bartlett’s Global Urbanism MASc is the first urban Master’s degree to cut radically across arts, humanities, social sciences and technology studies, giving you the opportunity to specialise in urbanism as a challenge-driven and practice-oriented transdisciplinary field. The Global Urbanism MASc offers two pathways, ‘Global Studio’ or ‘London Studio’. In addition to a shared core curriculum, each pathway gives students the opportunity to build critical understandings of global urbanism, specialising either in the highly globalised urban context of London, or in a selected international partner city. Students will learn in a collaborative and experimental research setting, engaging with their own environs and the university’s local and international partners. Pathway choices are made in consultation with staff and based on student interest and experience.
