课程内容与领域

MAUS的课程整体类似博士学位的指导方式，教学分为四种形式的组合：1）One to one supervision一对一指导，2）Seminars & classes研讨会与课程、3）Lectures讲座、4）Posters and Presentations项目展示与评讲。其中One to one supervision会根据学生最初提交的研究提案与研究兴趣匹配一位方向合适的导师讨论阅读材料、论文写作进度以及研究方向的调整和细化。整体涉及的领域分为两个方向：1）一个是偏技术角度关注建筑、城市的可持续性问题和环境设计，2）另一方向是侧重人文社科角度关注建筑和城市的社会政治和文化背景。学生可以同时参与两个方向的研究，或者选择其中之一进行深入。

项目背景与领域

In the UK moves to devolve government and decision-making to the regional and local levels are generating an increased requirement for well-trained professionals who are capable of providing the knowledge and analytical skills required. Across Europe increased economic and monetary union is emphasizing the need for member states to consider how those involved in urban and regional government can tackle the spatial disparities in economic growth and development (经济增长和发展中的空间差异) that have been such an entrenched feature of the last 20 years.
In the Far East and North America, a similar level of interest is being shown in how governments can best ensure more geographical balance in development (政府规划决策与地域平衡). The design and implementation of spatial policies to manage the process of growth requires professionals with a multidisciplinary skill base and an international perspective on best practices.
