Many global challenges can be tackled through better city design. Urban designers play a vital role in shaping sustainable communities, from protecting green spaces to reducing travel times. At Oxford Brookes, you’ll study design from building scale to city-wide masterplans, exploring environments from villages to megacities.
You'll begin with UK housing, then expand your focus globally-engaging with experts in places like Dubai, or analysing population data from cities such as Hong Kong. You’ll explore how climate, density, and culture impact urban development.
Through a wide range of topics and a challenging international project-possibly in Manhattan or Mumbai-you’ll develop the creative and analytical skills needed to address urban design issues worldwide. We can’t promise you’ll solve every problem, but you’ll gain the insight and tools to make a real difference.
The course is open to applicants who hold a 2.1 undergraduate honours degree (or international equivalent) in a related design & planning discipline. We will actively consider applications from candidates with lower degrees or an alternative subject, who can provide a suitable portfolio and/or evidence relevant work experience. Mid-career professional candidates with practice experience are also encouraged to apply.
