About the field of study
The aim of the second-cycle Urban Planning field of study is to prepare graduates for independent analytical work and creative work in the field of shaping the urban environment and responsible space management taking into account the conditions of the existing state and individual social needs. The specificity of the master's degree is the active participation of students in research and development projects.
The interdisciplinary nature of the studies aimed at providing students with broad theoretical knowledge and practical professional skills makes our graduates not only good specialists who use their talent and acquired skills at work, but also broad-minded people who are aware of the social mission of their profession, whose competencies (hard and soft) enable them to adapt flexibly to the changing needs of the market. As part of the educational process, students have the opportunity to use modern didactic methods, and can participate in laboratories, classes and project practices, seminars and workshops of national and international scope. In addition, they have the opportunity to complete part of their studies in foreign universities under the "Erasmus +" program, which increases the possibility of active competition in the labor market in Poland and Europe.
The list of courses taught in each semester can be found on the website.

About you
In the Middle Ages, the establishment of a city was decided by the king, who issued a charter of incorporation, defining the layout of the city, for example under Magdeburg or Lübeck law. However, the beginnings of urban planning in the Polish state date back to the Congress Kingdom, when the first factories began to appear and industry developed In 1828, a decree of the President of the Republic of Poland on the building law and development of the estate was published — at that time, for example, Aleksandłów Łódzki was created. Nowadays, all you need for conscious urban planning is intuition, creativity and... second-cycle studies!
