In the last decade, urban science has gained recognition as a new approach to the study of cities and urban life. This is partly due to the harnessing of big and open data relating to urban infrastructure, socio-economic profiles and activities that take place in cities; and in part a result of developments in social physics and complexity theory.
The course also provides a pathway to the PhD programme in Urban Science at Warwick Institute of Science for Cities (WISC) for those intending to undertake further postgraduate research at doctoral level. Each year, WISC offers several 1+3 full studentship positions through the EPSRC-CDT programme on merit basis to UK/EU students who wish to study for PhD in Urban Science at WISC. Please contact WISC for more information and eligibility criteria. WISC also has ties with CUSP (Center for the Urban Science and Progress) at New York University. This partnership has so far facilitated several workshops and visits between NYU and Warwick.
Who should apply? This course is aimed at students from a range of disciplinary backgrounds who want to learn more about the emerging field of urban science and about the ways to think and research independently in relation to urban and social-media data using new interdisciplinary methods and methodologies relevant to urban science. Although no specific background is required, your application must demonstrate an ability to work creatively and independently as well as an interest in urban science and data analytics in general.
