About the course

As a post-professional studio based program, the Master of Architecture in Urban Design (MAUD) combines intense design instruction, extensive applied research, and knowledge of urban history and theory. Taking advantage of the remarkable international makeup of the faculty and student body, the MAUD program establishes a common intellectual ground among architects who have a strong interest in engaging the practice and theory of contemporary urbanism. Conceived as a two-year (four semester) program, the MAUD shares a strong first-semester core curriculum with the MLAUD program that includes the Elements of Urban Design Core Studio, the Urban Design Proseminar, and the Cities by Design lecture course. The remaining three semesters offer a more flexible academic path that allows students to engage in advanced studios and elective courses across all three GSD departments. The curricular structure encourages advanced individual and collective research and the possibility to develop an elective thesis. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
