MS in Urban Planning for Transition | Master's degree | Art & Design | Blended Learning | 2 years | Università Iuav di Venezia | Italy

Studying Urban Planning in Venice means absorbing the tradition of the first school in Italy, founded in 1970, that established a graduate degree programme in this field. Today’s world is asking for an awareness in environmental and social issues, with a focus on urban resilience. Iuav MS programme offers a new vision concerning urban transition and innovation that considers the city and cultural heritage as common goods to be preserved despite the global change. Through the educational offer, students can engage in both theory and practice thanks to the collaboration with local and international organisations, in order to investigate new challenges related to sustainability, climate change, urban metabolism, disaster planning and post-disaster rebuilding. Students can also spend some time abroad, thanks to the Erasmus+ scholarship programme, in one of the many partner universities in Europe. Double degree opportunities are also provided: by studying (2/3 semesters) in a partner university, students have the chance to obtain a double degree (issued both by Iuav and by the Partner). The MS in Urban Planning for Transition is a partner, for double degree programmes, of the Tongji University (Shanghai - China) and the University of Reims-Champagne Ardenne (Reims - France).
