The New York City-based Master of Science, Advanced Urban Design program (MS AUD) prepares graduates to engage in pressing urban, environmental and social issues with the tools of design to connect ecology, technology and community in pursuit of more just and nourishing futures.

The program offers a specialized course of study at the intersection of urban systems, ecologies, technologies and data by immersing students in New York City to ask big questions, address contemporary wicked problems and invigorate public realms.

Participants in the program deepen their understanding of a range of conceptual topics while developing abilities to uncover, visualize and translate data into designs of material, spatial and experiential consequences.

The program supports citizen-urbanists interested in making a difference by developing their own critically engaged and radically imaginative spatial practices.

Graduates of the program will be agents of urban change, equipped with advanced skills and expanded knowledge to apply those skills in meaningful ways.

The program is open to individuals holding a professional Bachelor of Architecture degree, a professional Master of Architecture degree or a professional degree in an adjacent design field (eg. MLA, MUD).

Students with professional or terminal degrees in related creative fields (eg. MFA) will also be considered.

Students with design and research interests related to urban design, urban sustainability, infrastructure systems, community engagement, visualization and urban data are encouraged to apply to the MS AUD program.

For more information, join us for a virtual session on Monday 4 December 2023. The application deadline is 3 January 2024.

Applications to this course have now closed.
