Course summary

Many global challenges can be tackled through better city design. Urban designers play a vital role in shaping sustainable communities, from protecting green spaces to reducing travel times. At Oxford Brookes, you’ll study design from building scale to city-wide masterplans, exploring environments from villages to megacities.

You'll begin with UK housing, then expand your focus globally-engaging with experts in places like Dubai, or analysing population data from cities such as Hong Kong. You’ll explore how climate, density, and culture impact urban development.

Through a wide range of topics and a challenging international project-possibly in Manhattan or Mumbai-you’ll develop the creative and analytical skills needed to address urban design issues worldwide. We can’t promise you’ll solve every problem, but you’ll gain the insight and tools to make a real difference.
