This 2-year interdisciplinary masters program addresses the dynamic challenges faced throughout the world due to rapid urbanization processes. Conventional academic approaches to urban planning, architecture and development have proven inadequate in dealing with constantly evolving, contemporary urban challenges, which calls for highly innovative approaches that incorporate elements from a diverse selection of disciplines as well as physical, economic, social and managerial aspects.
Mundus Urbano therefore aims to provide our students with the highest quality academic resources and teaching staff, affording them insight into current development planning theories and practices, thus producing graduates who can innovatively work to address the complex nature of the urban phenomena being experienced, most significantly in developing countries.
Considering the fact that today’s professionals are increasingly required to undertake projects internationally and that a large proportion of these projects in the field of urban development involve international finance and foreign aid, the Mundus Urbano masters program includes a strong focus on international cooperation where there is an unsatisfied need for well-prepared experts.
The multi-national composition of both our student groups and teaching staff fosters a diverse learning environment and allows for the development of a global professional network – an indispensable asset, which our graduates utilize along with the Mundus Urbano Alumni group.
