The Masters of Architectural Science in Urban Design provides an opportunity for students to be introduced to the details of how design is part of the answer, to appreciate the principles for designing places, and to work creatively in an interdisciplinary environment towards understanding of the forces that shape the urban environment.
Students will acquire advanced theoretical and conceptual knowledge of urban design as well as practical knowledge through field trips, case studies and design-based studio work.
To gain relevance, studio and aligned modules seek to engage with decision makers, current debates and challenges in Ireland while contextualizing their global relevance.
