The purpose of the course is that students should develop their knowledge of methodological and theory of knowledge issues in the main field of Urban Studies.

A further purpose is that students should develop their skills at identifying and concretely expressing urban contexts to be able to achieve a dialogue with urban development actors.

The course is structured around three interactive themes forming a complex unity:

1. Identifying important and interesting urban contexts and issues.
2. Analysing – based on the use of different methodologies – these urban issues.
3. Concretising – in text and image – of the urban issues as a means of communication, critique and development.

The course consists of several interactive elements.

- Introductory presentations in lecture form of methodological and theory of knowledge themes relevant to the field of Urban Studies.
- Practical exercises in the form of workshops where students identify important and interesting urban contexts and develop their skills in analysing them.
- Examination presentations where students practise analysing, interpreting and commenting upon urban contexts in text and image, e.g. using a poster format.

Malmö University provides students who participate in, or who have completed a course, with the opportunity to express their opinions and describe their experiences of the course by completing a course evaluation administered by the University. The University will compile and summarise the results of course evaluations. The University will also inform participants of the results and any decisions relating to measures taken in response to the course evaluations. The results will be made available to the students (HF 1:14).
