Course summary

The Executive MSc in Cities is designed for public, private and third sector leaders who want to deliver large-scale change in cities. Based at LSE Cities, a leading international centre that has informed global urban practice for the last 16 years, we deploy the Centre’s global network of city leaders and the School’s leading urban specialty faculty to put the latest ground-breaking research into business and public action.

The executive programme provides specially-designed interdisciplinary courses focused on applied research and methods, and a modular teaching programme, designed to meet the needs of leading professionals from international, national and metropolitan organisations as well as companies and corporations involved in shaping the urban world.

It delivers an integrated set of executive-level courses that work across complex and connected issues helping you to analyse urban projects and policies from rigorous economic, social and environmental perspectives. You will have the opportunity to interact with highly experienced practitioners from city governments and planning and transport departments, as well as experts from research centres and institutions, development and design professions, urban consultancies and infrastructure providers from the UK and abroad.

Teaching methods and assessment

The programme is designed to be suitable for participants in full-time employment so it consists of five modular teaching blocks over 12 months, followed by a six-month consultancy project.

Teaching will be undertaken through a mix of seminars, case challenges, workshops, group work, site visits, presentations and pitches. This is supplemented with blended learning materials to be completed by programme participants prior to live teaching. The modules are assessed by a combination of individual essays / reports, individual and group presentations and the individual consultancy report.
