Urban Studies: Urban Business and Development - Real Estate and Transport, Master's Programme (Two-year)

The purpose of this course is to provide students with knowledge and skills in planning, conducting and presenting an academic study that supports their ability to critically review, evaluate and draw conclusions from research relevant to the research field of Urban Studies and the Master's program Urban Studies: Urban Business and Development – Real Estate and Transport.

In addition, another purpose in the course is for students to also develop and deepen their ability to critically examine and evaluate different types of research work.

Conducting a scientific study includes identifying a relevant research problem, searching for and selecting relevant literature, research methodology, collecting and analysing relevant empirical material and presenting research results and conclusions. The students conduct their degree project independently, but they will also discuss their and other degree projects in smaller groups and seminars during the semester. They present their academic studies in the form of a written master's thesis.

Students are encouraged to develop their master’s thesis in dialogue with both researchers and with actors outside of academia.
