The MSc in Urban Planning (with a focus on Urban Design) equips you to tackle the multifaceted challenges of urban space creation within China's rapidly evolving landscape.
This program teaches you to analyze how spatial design interacts with social, economic, environmental, and political factors across diverse urban environments. Adopting a multidisciplinary perspective on urban development, the course welcomes students from various academic backgrounds - not just architecture or urban planning - making it valuable for anyone curious about how spaces are conceived and shaped.
Our globally diverse faculty brings world-class teaching methodologies from top-tier international universities, providing an enriching, collaborative educational experience.
Important: For graduates requiring Chinese Ministry of Education degree certification, the official documentation will list the degree as "Urban Planning" without the specialized concentration in parentheses.
