Introduction

A Program with a Solid Foundation  In the Master's program Human Geography you can specialize in Urban or Economic Geography by choosing a track: Urban Geography: Neighbourhoods & Residential Dynamics Urban Geography: Daily Life & Public Spaces Economic Geography: Business & Location Economic Geography: Regional Development & Policy Cities and Urban Regions: Opportunities and Concerns Urban regions are dynamic places where people get together and generate new ideas. They are breeding grounds for innovation and economic growth. Many people still move to the city, chasing their dreams: for a challenging career, a pleasant living environment, all the amenities within easy reach. And besides the local residents, large numbers of tourists visit the city seeking an entertaining stay. The continuous urban growth in an increasingly global economy has both winners and losers. On the one hand, there are start-ups that expand to become large companies. While on the other hand, there are traditional companies that succumb to global competition. How can we explain success and failure? Urban growth also leads to a great diversity of people and lifestyles, which ensures thriving communities. Yet there are also places where spatial and social inequalities reveal themselves between communities. This results in unpleasant living environments and neighborhoods in decline. How do you breathe new life into those communities? In the Human Geography Master's program, you learn how urban and economic issues are interwoven. As a student of the Human Geography Master’s, you will study the city and its economic developments from various academic perspectives and thematic angles, with an interdisciplinary approach. An International Focus This Master’s program has an international character. We welcome students from around the world onto the program. This way you are provided with the opportunity to come into contact with other cultures and national contexts. You will go on an international field trip and can complete your Master's thesis project and/or internship. You will be able to find work in many fields, positions, and locations following graduation.
