This degree offers an unparalleled opportunity to explore the social, political, cultural and economic development of two world cities: Paris and London. Study at the University of London Institute in Paris with the option to spend your second term at Queen Mary University of London.
You will explore the development of urban topography and planning through site visits and analysis, using a primarily bifocal approach to the growth of city living and management, and how that has shaped the fabric of the world.
Teaching
The degree is delivered via small-group seminars where you will be encouraged to discuss key issues and participate through seminar presentations. The programme will also be supported by a hands-on approach, including site visits and workshops.
Seminars will be supplemented by consultations with advisers, option course leaders, and dissertation supervisors, which will include opportunities for one-to-one discussions of course content and plans for written work.
Academic staff
Sessions are led by members of faculty from the University of London Institute in Paris, and the Schools of History, Geography and English and Drama from Queen Mary University of London in weekly seminars led by staff members with original research qualifications and interests in the area.
The programme is offered in collaboration with Queen Mary University of London's School of History, School of English and Drama and School of Geography, and the University of London Institute in Paris.
Careers Opportunity
Studying the MA in Urban History and Culture will provide you with a deep understanding of the history and contemporary organisation of two capital cities through a multidisciplinary approach as well as develop a range of advanced analytical and research skills.
Gaining a recognised postgraduate qualification with strong inter-cultural skills and international experience, along with a range of advanced project management skills will prepare you for many career paths or further study.
Previous graduates now work in a range of careers, including academia, NGOs, the travel industry, filmmaking, galleries, auction houses and photography.
Students should have an upper second-class honours degree in a relevant Humanities-related subject. A recognized equivalent from an accredited overseas institution is also accepted.
