Masters Degree in Hazards, Cities and Spatial Planning

This Course was created to meet the current situation in which globalisation, climate change and territorial governance are major challenges in terms of city and territorial planning. The training is therefore aimed at providing specific skills to respond to these challenges, with urban policies and risk prevention at the centre. Considering the growing needs of the labour market, the aim is also to improve the training of professionals in the areas of strategy and foresight, innovation and partnership and contractualisation.

Curricular structure

With an innovative and interdisciplinary curricular structure, the aim is to attract graduates in geography and other disciplinary areas (architecture, engineering, planning, sociology, economics, law, among others). In this way, the course aims to contribute to the development of a new generation of spatial planners and to update professionals already working in local councils, companies, etc.\


Passing the curricular units of the 1st and 2nd semesters confers a diploma (in a non-degree master's course) in two alternative specialisations:

  • Urban Policies and Spatial Planning;
  • Risk Prevention and Spatial Planning.

To obtain a master's degree, in the 3rd and 4th semesters students can choose to complete one of three options: dissertation, internship or project.
