Master in Cities Challenges

What you learn

El curso persigue la interrelación del marco teórico con el conocimiento de un conjunto de realidades, con una especificidad significativa en el ámbito urbano del noroeste peninsular. Este último, un espacio configurado tanto por múltiples entornos metropolitanos, con procesos de urbanización complejos, en un continuo urbano a lo largo de la costa como por situaciones de concentración y despoblación en el interior. El plan de estudios, que desenvuelve un escenario teórico robusto centrado en los últimos desarrollos, considera los variados escenarios, y sus perspectivas de evolución y acción. Dado el contexto de los desafíos futuros con el que se enfrentan las ciudades en los campos disciplinarios y científicos de la Ingeniería, la Geografía, el Urbanismo y otras ciencias, el desarrollo de una propuesta de máster, diferenciadora y atractiva, ha tenido en cuenta en la estructura del curso una opción de equilibrio ponderado entre todos ellos. En el apartado adjunto se observan las materias a impartir, así como las universidades que, de modo conjunto, son responsables de su docencia en los tres cuatrimestres de duración de los estudios en modalidad semipresencial.

Student mobility

UDC holds student mobility agreements with universities and other third-level institutions across four continents. Students are offered several opportunities each year to apply to study abroad in one of these centres (for a single term or for a whole year), with the guarantee that all credits obtained will be duly recognised in their academic record upon their return.

For each round of applications, the University publishes the list of exchange options available to students and, where relevant, the specific conditions associated with each. Students may also apply to the University for funding for international work experience placements and internships.

Work experience placements are accredited in the student's academic record and the European diploma supplement. Students are free to decide in which host company or academic institution within the EHEA they wish to carry out their placement. To assist them in their search, the University has created an online noticeboard with jobs postings and other news.

Work-study placements in A Coruña are arranged by the International Relations Office (ORI) of the UDC in collaboration with the international relations coordinators in the student’s home university. The general entry criteria, rights and obligations of students, and admission and acceptance procedures for the programme, are regulated by the UDC Mobility Policy.
