Magister Planowania Przestrzennego i Rozwoju Terytorialnego

Training

The training is organized in a modular way and according to a competency-based approach. The student goes through the different teaching units which constitute the training according to the rhythm that suits him, until the integrated test in which he must demonstrate through a synthesis work the transversal mastery of the skills he has acquired.

The question "How will men live here, tomorrow? Is the breadcrumb of the training. This is the purpose of urban planning courses in which the student is led to formulate his response in the form of a creative synthesis in an approach that is similar to that he will implement in his professional practice.

Around the course of project, gravitate the courses relating to the sciences, techniques, means and methods to which the planner refers and those relating to the bases which frame his activity.

In practice

The Ateliers Saint-Luc offer you social advancement training in the evening. Equivalent to a university master's degree of 120 credits, the master's degree in urban planning and regional planning is planned over a period of three years. However, the modular system makes it easy to spread out the studies.
