What You Will Learn
You will learn how to act in an environment where a variety of systems, networks, and human actors shape the metropolis and the flows in the city. As a student you make use of new technologies, enabling a much faster and more accurate use of data in cities, and at larger scales than ever before.
The two-year MSc MADE program is a combination of institution and online education, thorough training in academic skills and project work. This is all connected to the research portfolio of Wageningen University & Research, Delft University of Technology, and their industrial and societal partners and brought together in AMS Institute.
The Program
The first year of the program focuses on building both theoretical and practical knowledge and skills through real-world application, learning by doing (i.e. challenge-based), and transdisciplinary education. Students furthermore work on a variety of projects that connect students to real life cases, business, the city, and its citizens.
In the second year of the program, students apply the knowledge and skills they learned in the first year through Living Lab projects and thesis research. These projects involve collaboration with both public and private partners with the aim of designing and implementing real-world interventions.
The master's program will be completed with a thesis. This includes a theoretical framework, advancing analytical methods, and explicating conceptual approaches.
