It develops to provide portfolios of urban simulation which inform future design; to explore and develop technologies around sensing and flows; to create an understanding of smart systems theory and a skill set in quantitative methods, geographic information science and programing. The Smart Cities and Urban Analytics course from the University College London (UCL) reflects the change that technologies are making to the operation and our understanding of the city. It builds on the need for a skill set in programming, spatial data capture and the ability for urban analysis with an understanding of the theory and context to urban systems.
The programme is modular consisting of a compulsory dissertation, six mandatory taught modules and one optional module.
Opportunities: This programme gives students the skill-set and knowledge base to embark on a professional or academic path through the highly interdisciplinary field of spatial science. The MSc has a practice-based emphasis and will be suitable for someone wishing to expand their knowledge of a particular area without necessarily wanting to study to doctoral level. Students will develop an enhanced understanding of space, temporal dynamics, the simulation of spatial behaviour, network, visualisation, communication and interlinking topics that share a similar need for data, outreach and research skills.
