PEDAGOGY AND CURRICULUM

The MAUD curriculum aims to create an encompassing platform to consolidate students’ knowledge foundation and, more importantly, promote interdisciplinary collaborative learning. The modules are therefore designed to strike a balance between design studio and different aspects of urban design in terms of content, and between project-based and discussion-based learning in terms of pedagogy. Many modules are shared with other programmes to provide students with an opportunity to work across disciplinary boundaries, socially negotiating knowledge with different peers. A diversity of practitioners and government officers are also engaged to provide students with wider exposures through seminar conversation and dissertation research.
