With this master programme, you can specialize in planning of sustainable cities. You will be an active contributor to the development of the society of the future and will have the opportunity to influence people's surroundings through spatial plans, planning processes and democracy. Climate change, nature and the environment are key topics along with social and societal perspectives.  The education also has an international focus, with examples from areas outside the Nordic region.    

The urban planning programmes at the faculty have a long tradition of interdisciplinary connections between engineering, architecture and other humanities fields such as sociology and geography. Interdisciplinary projects where several disciplines are included are crucial for achieving a sustainable development in urban contexts. Problem based group work and collaboration on complex urban areas are therefore central to the programme.
