Nordic Urban Planning Studies | Master's degree | Art & Design | On Campus | 2 years | Malmö University | Sweden

What is a city and who are the key actors in urban development? How do cultural, political and economic conditions define urban life? How can we develop innovative, collaborative and sustainable approaches to urban challenges and possibilities? This programme studies Nordic urban planning in a global context and its distinctive perspectives to urban sustainability, liveability, mobility, ‘smart’ cities, welfare, citizen empowerment and more. The programme is offered by Roskilde University in collaboration with Malmö University and Tromsø University. The programme combines core training across the three universities with opportunities to specialise at each. Recofnising that sustainable solutions for major future challenges cannot be solved with one professionalism alone, the programme takes an interdisciplinary approach that equips you to solve real-life complex problems through group and individual research projects. Taught by leading researchers from the universities of Roskilde (Denmark), Malmö (Sweden) and Tromsø (Norway), you will develop international and interdisciplinary perspectives on urban planning and development. You will also gain expertise in a range of research and communicative skills suitable for employment in private or public organisations working with cities and their futures.
