Urban Planning (M.U.P.)

The Master of Urban Planning (M.U.P.) in Urban Planning (Non-Thesis) offered by the Department of Urban Planning in the Faculty of Engineering is a course-based program that emphasizes hands-on and thought-provoking learning opportunities. The program's objective is to equip students with skills in planning, urban design, and project evaluation to pursue professional opportunities (or potentially continue their studies).

Aside from the general program, there are two additional options:

Transportation Planning option: enables students to specialize in the field of Transportation Planning through studio courses, an internship, and a final project involving real-life applications and research.

Urban Development and Urban Design option: aims to produce graduates who are skilled in analysis and design for development in existing (sub)urban landscapes and urbanizing contexts, whether in North America or elsewhere. Additional courses in this option include focusing on urban design, real estate, the politics of development, and urban governance. Note: Students seeking to specialize in Urban Development and Urban Design must apply at the end of their first year of study.
