University College London
This unique course is a collaboration between four UCL faculties (the Bartlett; Arts and Humanities; Engineering; and Social and Historical Sciences). Students take two core modules in "Urban imaginations" and "City, space and power" and then choose further courses from over twenty optional modules ranging from research training (for the dissertation) to specialist modules such as "Creative cities", "Spatial planning", "Urban design", "Cities in a globalizing South", "Italian cinema and the city", and "Post-colonial theory and the multicultural city."
This advanced interdisciplinary programme is aimed at two main groups of students: first, students from a professional background who wish to take an opportunity for critical reflection and skills enhancement for their career development; and second, students who wish to consider embarking on a research career in the urban field and see the MSc as a useful first step towards independent writing and research at PhD or postdoctoral level.
Entry requirements are the equivalent of a first or upper-second class degree. Full time, part time and flexible study options are available.
The course is run by the UCL Urban Laboratory: http://www.ucl.ac.uk/urbanlab

University College for the Creative Arts
The course draws on the close relationship between fine art and architecture at our Canterbury campus – where there are the long-established MFA (International Practice) and MA Fine Art– and provides opportunities to investigate critical issues of the spatial and site, which may be institutional, discursive, architectural, specific or performative.
In this course, student projects will be contextualized within contemporary debates around how spaces are produced, performed, theorised and gendered, and will extend the boundaries of contemporary art, architecture, design, performance and spatial practices. The course is supported by a visiting programme of artists, architects, performance theorists, geographers and cultural theorists.
Prospective students will have a background related to any of a number of disciplines, including fine art, architecture, performance, dance, design, media and the humanities. On the course they will engage with their particular discipline through an expanded notion of transformational, spatial practice which will evolve through an investigative approach drawing on the interdisciplinary framework of the course.
The Canterbury School of Architecture is part of the University College for the Creative Arts, which has around 6,500 students enrolled on more than 80 different courses, and offers ARB/RIBA Architecture Parts 1 and 2 as well as Interior Architecture and Design. The University College is home to several public art galleries - including the Herbert Read on the Canterbury Campus -, to the Crafts Study Centre, and to research centres that include the Centre for Sustainable Design, the Animation Research Centre and the Public Art and Architecture (PARC) research centre. In addition, UCCA is home to various research 'clusters', including MAKE - The Model as an Articulation of Knowledge and Experimentation - and the Critical Spatial Practices group which directly supports the MA Spatial Practices.
