Cities and especially global(ising) cities are set to see their economic, cultural and environmental roles gain greater significance in the next decade or so. Many forums and coalitions recognise the importance of understanding, researching, managing, planning and coordinating the continued growth of cities worldwide.

London is already home to over 8 million people. Can it continue to provide a ready stream of quality housing for its inhabitants? To what extent do London's regenerated spaces meet the needs of London’s businesses and population? If these questions excite and intrigue you then this Masters-level course will be an excellent fit for you.

This Masters covers:

  • Rather than seek to divide countries and their cities into categories such as developed and developing, we will deploy the concepts of the Global North and Global South, global and globalising cities. We then seek to explore themes such as urbanisation and climate change and the sustainability agenda and explore their impacts from different perspectives.
  • There is a sharpened focus worldwide on the importance of cities globally not just in political and economic terms but also regarding cultural and quality of life factors. The United Nations Human Settlements Programme’s (UN-Habitat) World Cities Report 2016 is just one of the latest examples of a multi-lateral agency stressing the global importance of cities and the opportunities and challenges they engender.
  • It's clear that the growing complexity of cities requires multi-disciplinary experts, city planners, managers, politicians and local activists who can grasp that complexity and work to fulfil the potential of cities while mitigating some of the more harmful impacts.

  • ECTS kreditų išrašas - jei dar nesi baigęs aukštosios mokyklos, būtina prisegti ECTS kreditų išrašą, kuriame būtų matyti, kokius dalykus Tu mokeisi bei kokius pažymius ir kiek kreditų už juos gavai. Kai siunti anketą paskutiniame kurse, diplomą reikia prisegti vėliau, kai tik jį gausi.

  • Bakalauro diplomas – jei jau esi baigęs aukštąją mokyklą, išrašo nereikia, užtenka prie anketos prisegti savo Bakalauro diplomą.

It's clear that the growing complexity of cities requires multi-disciplinary experts, city planners, managers, politicians and local activists who can grasp that complexity and work to fulfil the potential of cities while mitigating some of the more harmful impacts.

We expect graduates to find career opportunities in: city management , town centre management, infrastructure provision and management, urban strategic planning, smart city initiatives and urban policy.

In addition global cities themselves, (especially London) as identified in the Knight Frank (2016) Global Cities Report will see their populations continue to increase creating even more demands for professionals who can work to secure coordination in the provision of housing, transport and services. They will require talented and well educated graduates across the sector mentioned above and in the emerging sector of smart cities.

Each module statement specifies clearly the key employability aspects associated with the module. Here we demonstrate how employability relates to specific sectors and career opportunities.
