Graduate Certificate in Urban Development and Design


Course Details

We address the design of cities from multiple perspectives to give you a contemporary and integrated view on how to make them better places to live and work. Our aim is to redefine urban design to go beyond solving problems, towards understanding cities in creative ways and imagine different futures. We want to inspire the right minds to lead the way. The majority of the worlds population live in cities, and with limited resources and significant climate change, there is a growing demand for urban designers specifically trained to understand and look at cities strategically and holistically. Urban design is a term often borrowed by other specialists as an add-on to their core service.

This is a new degree for a new kind of designer, taught by leading academics and industry professionals. You will study courses from across a range of disciplines including
