European Urban Studies (EUS)

About

The Master's programme "European Urban Studies" (EUS) addresses current challenges of cities in Europe. It is motivated by the general insight in the significance of cities for progress in Europe. Cities are the place for concrete solutions for problems from all fields of everyday life and the place for sustaining democracy. The EUS programme thus pays special attention to questions of social cohesion, urban housing, cultural diversity, sustainable planning and mobility. The programme works with an understanding of urban planning that combines competences from the disciplines of urban planning, urban sociology, urban design, landscape and spatial planning. It provides a transdisciplinary and comprehensive approach for studying the development of European cities. The Master's programme is aiming at the education of researchers in the field of urban studies. It will provide knowledge and academic skills to analyse, research and plan for students who want to start a professional career in urban planning, research and academic institutions and the wider field of civil society. The teaching programme intends to prepare for self-organised research projects and thereby for further studies (PhD) as well. The interaction of the different subject areas outlined below allows for a differentiated examination of various issues: European Cities Urban and Landscape Planning Urban Sociology Research Methods and Research Design Study brochure:Â https://www.uni-weimar.de/de/architektur-und-urbanistik/institute/ifeu/studium/european-urban-studies-msc/
