This Masters degree is aimed at graduates who want to use creative practice to design, investigate and interpret urban places.
Modules
The MA comprises four study modules:
The City: Scale and Media (30 credits) investigates the ways in which we understand places, often ones we have never visited, from sources such as literature, art, film and data.
Praxis (30 credits) explores methods and techniques of managing, interpreting and curating places through visits to a diverse range of organisations/custodians such as cultural institutions, heritage sites, land owners, property developers and designers.
Design Studio (60 credits) asks you to produce a creative design response to a given urban site working in a tutored studio environment.
Dissertation (60 credits) is the opportunity for you to undertake a piece of academic research that explores a chosen place-related topic in detail. There might be the chance to work closely with place-related organisations to develop the theme for study and to carry out the research.
