Master's specialisation Urban and Regional Mobility: something for you?

You will develop smart and sustainable solutions for actual and future planning problems.
You are interested in developing a different understanding of planning and forms of practices.
You are trained to think outside given boxes, by combining well-established core courses with electives.
Small, almost 'family-like' department that covers a broad range of topics with a strong track record in related research.

What will you learn?

Mobility deals with increasingly complex flows of people and goods in the networked city and region. With different technologies, lifestyles and spatial structures, the demand side is always changing. On the supply side, services become more flexible and the physical infrastructure is used more efficiently. This Master's specialisation will look into various integrated mobility systems or transport modes at different spatial scales. Furthermore, the specialisation looks at innovations for strategic spatial planning at the level of integrated city regions, and how mobility and transportation fit in these innovations.

Career prospects

Master's programme in Spatial Planning

Our Spatial Planning graduates are greatly valued by their employers for their analytical skills, critical perspective and sound academic understanding of the relationship between human activities, their spatial environment, and relevant spatial interventions enhancing their living environment.

Upon completion students will have knowledge of:

Interfaces between different planning concepts, sectors and interests
Synergies that are found and trade-offs that are made along these interfaces
Paths through which integrative planning is manifested in policy formulation, decision-making and projects at different geographical and institutional levels

Spatial planners from Nijmegen work as policy maker, consultant or project manager for government, consulting firms, project developers, housing corporations or research institutes. Also, more and more of our alumni are working in international projects.
