Study urban studies in the capital city of Europe! The interdisciplinary Master in Urban Studies (or MUS for short) is a 120 ECTS programme jointly offered by the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) and the Université libre de Bruxelles (ULB).
Providing a genuinely interdisciplinary perspective on urban studies, students pursue a core trajectory of shared courses while enjoying the flexibility to specialize through individual selection from an extensive range of electives. Our education combines theoretical courses with field observation, excursions and hands-on applied activities. The programme is designed to cultivate a cohort of adept urban researchers and professionals capable of effecting meaningful change within the European context and beyond.
