The programme aims to produce highly qualified university trained urban designers/planners/researchers at a postgraduate level.
EMU offers a two-year, full-time post-master programme (120 ects).
The universities take different approaches to the subject matter, which is the result of interactive, contextual development with regard to geography, history and culture. This specificity means that students acquire valuable experience in a variety of cultural, disciplinary and physical landscapes. At TU Delft there is a focus on two major research topics, Metropolitan Structures and Delta Urbanism, working in a Dutch tradition of urbanism as an integration of urban design, landscape architecture and spatial planning.
The EMU programme is seen as incubator for design driven research with students building up a skill set in research and design through studios, intensive workshops and supplementary courses. Participants come from a wide range of countries and are asked to reflect on and challenge how planning and urban design operates in the Netherlands, the European Union and their home countries.
EMU alumni take leadership roles in their home countries or go on to do advanced research on critical issues in Europe and abroad. The programme thus enhances career prospects.
Student Mobility
Course participants must fulfill a minimum of 90 ECTS at the host university and will follow one semester at one of the partner universities. This will take place during the third semester.
