The expertise you will develop through our courses could open doors to exciting career opportunities in urban planning, city governance, engineering, data science and beyond.

Research
A London street view - rendered with the image formed of dust-like particles that are denser towards the centre of the image and less denser towards the edges. The street image contains a road junction and multiple shop fronts beneath red brick flats
