Do you want to study topics in urban planning, society and sustainability in the context of two different countries in different parts of our world? Join our Double Degree Master in Urban Planning, Society and Sustainability!
The
Faculty of Spatial Sciences of the University of Groningen, the
Netherlands, and the Department of Architecture and Planning of
Gadjah Mada University in Yogyakarta, Indonesia have created a
Double Degree Master programme that combines the Master in
Urban
and Regional Planning
at
UGM with the master in
Society,
Sustainability and Planning
in
Groningen. Students start their two year programme with a year in
Indonesia, followed by a year in the Netherlands.
Urban
planning studies spatial conditions, and plans those for future
needs. Our field of work is neigbourhoods, cities and regions.
Across these scales and in all contexts, urban planning can’t
be separated from its social elements. The programme highlights
social aspects and the human factor of the global transition
towards a more sustainable society. Sustainability challenges are
interconnected with the communities that face them.
Yogyakarta is home to thousands of students from across the world. Its unique landscape, heritage and culture make it an interesting and inspiring place for those studying urban planning. In Groningen, you will study at one of the world’s leading universities. Learn from the best and take advantage of exciting research opportunities and live in a vibrant student city. Whatever you’re seeking from your university experience, you’ll find it in the dense (planning) community of Groningen.
