Why Urban Studies

Urban Studies is an interdisciplinary field of study that offers an in-depth understanding of cities and processes of urbanisation. In Urban Studies, students find a liberal arts experience of immediate relevance to our urban age. Students learn about many different urban contexts, processes and topics, and are taught a range of explanatory frameworks (economic, political, social, cultural and spatial).
