Master of Science in Urban Analytics and Visualisation
Program Overview
For the first time in history, more than half of the world’s population lives in urban areas. At the same time, cities and urbanised regions in general are increasingly linked and influenced by “smart” technologies.
Urban Analytics and Visualisation is an emerging interdisciplinary approach to addressing the urban challenges arising from these developments. Our unique MSc develops both the practical and theoretical skills needed – such as data analytics, urban theory, and visualisation techniques – to tackle these challenges, combining practice with cutting-edge theoretical and methodological understanding of urban systems.
Our course offers you:
- Deep understanding of the nexus between urban life and digital technology
- Thorough knowledge of interdisciplinary urban analytical methods
- Practical and analytical skills to explore, visualise, and make sense of city-scale spatial data
- Interdisciplinary methodological skills to design solutions to the world’s urban challenges
- Capitalising on emerging developments in big data analytics and digital technologies
Skills from this degree
- Software skills: R including geospatial R packages; GeoDa (a spatial visual analytics tool); QGIS (an open-source geographical information system); (possibly more, depending on optional modules chosen)
- Communication of scientific results to different audiences (including the general public)
- Interdisciplinary discussion and collaboration skills
- Application of urban theories to real-world problems
- Critical reflection about data, information, tools/methods
- Project management and team working skills (managing extensive group work projects)
