description

Planning is an inter- and multidisciplinary field of knowledge and practice which allows professionals to deal with the spatial dimension of human activities.
Courses and modules provide education in systems thinking and complexity (systems theory, environmental science) as well as prepare students for leadership (management). Specialized courses provided planning specific knowledge and focus on policy making (urban planning, regional policy, EU spatial policy and marketing places) as well as planning law and plan preparation (techniques of plan preparation) to ready students for the complicated processes and procedures in planning practice. Courses in models in spatial policy and spatial economics seek to equip students with methodological tools for spatial analysis and scenario development. Wrocław University of Technology is the only in Poland which offers the courses in modelling and computer simulation of spatial development.
The programme consists of 3 semesters and apart from compulsory courses provides the variety of optional courses - from tourism to advanced tools in spatial modelling and participatory planning. Also no less than one international module is being open in the course of the programme.
The modules are run in the forms of lectures, studios and seminars. Students are offered to enjoy at least one studio project each semester.
A Master thesis (which can include also a professional project, plan or strategy) exploring a planning research topic must be produced as a final part of the program (20 ECTS). The thesis has to be presented in both written and oral form to a committee of academics for examination.
