As an Urban Studies major, you might find it beneficial to attend a summer school programme. Summer school programmes are a great way to explore applied aspects of Urban Studies, such as urban design or architecture or to build other skills. You can also connect with like-minded students and immerse yourself in a new city.
You may refer to these websites for some possible programmes for the upcoming summer. These include programmes in development studies, architecture and design and social science.
Over the summer break, our students can take on research assistant positions and work alongside faculty members on various research projects.
