Urban school

Urban school
Start with the city, transform the world. This ambition is central to the Urban School, which trains urban and regional public policy professionals to work at the local, national, European and international levels. Our students come from varied academic backgrounds (social sciences, engineering and architecture). They receive advanced academic instruction in urban governance and urban and regional public policy. Professional expertise is a feature of our courses, with teaching from the most innovative practitioners in their fields and students completing team projects throughout their programmes. Our graduates move into the private sector as well as the public or non-profit sectors as integrators, strategists, designers or managers.
