City and Regional Planning - Master of Science
Cities and urban areas are growing fast. Urban planners with technical insight and design understanding are therefore needed to ensure sustainable urban development of livable and smart cities. The cities of the future must be resource and energy efficient, and have smart solutions for buildings, transport and infrastructure.
Would you like to design the buildings, public spaces and neighbourhoods of the future? To ensure good collaboration between private and public stakeholders, urban planners with technical insight, creative sensitivity and an understanding og society are needed. The master program in City and Regional Planning focuses on place making, site-specific understanding, spatial analysis, conceptual development and design, as well as planning processes, shaping robust urban infrastructure and communities, along with renewable energy solutions.
The target group for this study programme are students with a background in planning, civil engineering or architecture who are interested in combining design with technical and social issues. Experience with urban/spatial planning and related drawing software is highly recommended.
The master’s programme currently has two specialisations:
- Urban Planning and Development
- Urban Planning and Engineering
Entry requirements
For specialization in Urban Planning and Development:
A bachelor’s degree within planning, civil engineering, or architecture is required.
The degree must include minimum 30 ECTS credits in physical planning, city and regional planning, landscape engineering, environmental or urban management, transport planning, technical planning.
For specialization in Urban Planning and Engineering:
A bachelor’s degree in engineering or equivalent. Other technical/natural sciences degrees can also qualify for admission after individual assessment. Applicants must have the equivalent of 25 ECTS credits in mathematics, 5 ECTS credits in statistics and 7,5 ECTS credits in Physics.
Proficiency in English at an advanced level is required and must be documented. For more information, please visit the programme's website.
