Specialisation in Cities, Water and Climate Change
The specialisation prepares students for working on the interface between urban planning, water and environmental management.
Master’s Thesis
The Master's thesis is a crucial part of your curriculum and consists of an individual research project in which you investigate a topic of your choice related to your specialisation. You should start thinking about a suitable topic for your thesis very early in the programme; we will help you make a thesis proposal in the course Advanced Research Methods. The goals of the Master's Thesis are to mobilise and integrate the theoretical and empirical knowledge and methods from the pr ceding courses for use in your own research project.
