With a Master’s degree in Human Geography or Urban and Regional Planning, you'll be equipped for your future career as a geographer or urban planner, with excellent national and international career opportunities. Possibilities include public service, the corporate sector, and non-profit organisations. The Spatial Sustainability Studies track, in particular, gives you the tools to approach sustainability and justice challenges in an integrative manner and to make the connection between analysis and intervention.

Where do our graduates work?

After graduating from the Master’s programme in Spatial Sustainability Studies you will have a broad range of skills, such as practical knowledge of research methods, analytical thinking, and the capacity to translate academic insights into real-world projects and solutions towards sustainability and justice in a global context, which are valued in many different professional paths.
