    Project Summary

    Rapid anthropogenic climate change in an increasingly urbanised world urgently require new professionals with a
    scientific understanding of urban climate and ability to work within the planning system to manage and lead
    sustainable change. Building on the success and lessons from MUrCS, the aim of the new Master of Urban
    Climate and Sustainability1.5 (MUrCS1.5) is to produce high calibre graduates to understand, assess and
    manage climate resilience in cities to live within a 1.5oC warmer world. MUrCS1.5 will integrate three themes
    (science of nature-based solutions as the approach to mitigation, with circular economy as the driver for urban
    planning, with sustainability leadership as the management goal). Students will choose one of these thematic
    areas as their main and another as their secondary specialism. MUrCS1.5 will offer a two-year, 120 ECTS Master
    degree on the basis of a jointly developed curriculum by the Glasgow Caledonian University (GCU), UK, LAB
    University of Applied Sciences (LAB), Finland, University of Huelva (UHU), Spain and University of Applied
    Sciences Dresden, Germany (HTWD). It will lead to triple degrees – MSc in Sustainable Urban Environment
    (GCU), MEng Environmental Technology (Urban Sustainability) (LAB) and MSc Environmental Technology
    (UHU), fully nationally accredited, while steps will be taken to release the fourth degree (MEng in Environmental
    Engineering) (HTWD) during the preparatory period. The consortium includes five academic Associate Partners
    from Japan, Sri Lanka, Turkey, South Africa and Brazil plus eleven local authority/public sector/private sector
    bodies to facilitate problem-based learning and industry-relevant thesis projects in a work
    placement-setting.MUrCS1.5 is aimed at both existing urban professionals as well as those with multidisciplinary
    environmental backgrounds and will create professional pathways in leading sustainable urban climate change.
    Graduates will gain critical understanding of the complexity of urban sustainability and the need for local action to
    combat climate change. They will develop intellectual and practical skills as well as the ability to use tools for the
    collection, analysis and interpretation of data related to urban climate change and sustainability. These and the
    transferable skills gained during the programme will enable graduates to operate in senior positions in both the
    public and the private sectors to lead sustainable and climate sensitive urban change.Three compulsory mobility
    period are built into the study programme (Semester 1 – Glasgow; Semester 2 – Lahti and Semester 3 – Huelva)
    plus a two week long intensive field work period in Dresden. Together with developing transverse skills
    (inter-cultural awareness, foreign language competencies, research methods and communication and
    employability skills) students develop a wholistic worldview and technical and intellectual competencies to
    manage and lead urban climate change in a sustainable manner
