The IURS offers, jointly with the Department of Geography, a two-year graduate planning program that provides a comprehensive curriculum in urban planning: theory, practice and methods. It also offers a two-year MA specialization program in Urban and Regional Planning that can be studied in conjunction with other disciplinary graduate programs in the Faculty of Social Sciences and other faculties, such as Law and Business Administration. The program can be taken both in the research-oriented track (which includes submitting a MA dissertation) and the non-research track.
