Overview
The Master in Advanced Urban Planning & Data Analytics (Formerly Master in City & Technology), redefines the future of the urban environment, through innovative, evidence-based and experimental approaches.
The program combines the latest tools for data analysis, computational design, parametric mapping, artificial intelligence (AI) and more, in order to understand, plan and design future-proof urban and peri-urban environments.
Programme structure
During the MUPD + Thesis Project, students have the unique opportunity to work for an additional time of 9 months on an Individual Thesis, focused on the development of one research or pilot project. To bridge the gap between education, research & practice, students have the advantage of working together with Thesis advisors from Academia and Partners from Practice – leaders from the professional fields of design, tech, networking, and the third sector join the programme team to place concrete challenges on the table, for the thesis students to propose a research topic aligned with these problematiques, ensuring each thesis has direct impact and is meaningful within real-world scenarios. IAAC supports the student in selecting their Thesis subject to better orient them according to their future career interests and opportunities.
In parallel to the development of the Thesis Cluster, the second year of the Master in Advanced Urban Planning & Data Analytics offers a series of seminars enhancing both the theoretical, practical, and computational skills of the students. Some of these seminars are articulated in collaboration with the other master programmes (Program Synergies) offered by IAAC, giving the students the chance to diversify their skillset, as well as further improve their technical knowledge and capacities.
