Master

| Field of Study: |

|
| Description: |
The course of study takes place over two years (four semesters) and covers a total of 66 course credits. Students devote their first two semesters to fulfilling the basic requirements of the program, two studios and a set of core courses, and to exploring one or more areas of specialisation through elective courses. Electives may be taken in the School of Urban Planning, in other academic units at McGill University, or at any of the three other major academic institutions in Montreal. In their third semester, students pursue their specific interests in a third studio and in additional elective courses. A 15-credit independent project completes the program. This may take the form of a piece of investigative research, an impact study, a design proposition for an urban project, or a development project or a plan.
Central to the educational experience is group work in a studio setting, in which students collaborate in multidisciplinary teams to solve "real life" problems in Montreal and the surrounding region. Equally important is the three-month professional internship, between the first and second year of study, in a planning field and geographic location of the students' own choosing. (Finding internship opportunities is the first part of the task.) |
