Through the programme courses and hands-on learning activities, you will be able to critically analyse and evaluate data found in the digital space and have insights into the foundation needed to apply data analytics to real-world post industrial urban transformation, critically analyse factors influencing different spaces within urban settings but also an ability to compare between different cities, deal with modern geospatial data resources (acquisition, maintenance, analysis, and cartographic visualisation of spatio-temporal transformation processes in urban areas), and communicate and translate between different professional orientations and cultures, learned to build up empathy, work with different social groups, to bring together different perspectives and to work in transnational teams.
RePIC graduates serve as curators of interdisciplinary transformation processes, able to think beyond boundaries and to explore and generate new ideas that can be applied to current and emergent needs.
CityLabs
Throughout the programme, there will be several collaborations involving community groups, academia, and specialist researchers. This will involve team-based practices and co-design approaches – and align the curriculum with specific “CityLabs” challenge areas in different European cities.
UNIC runs CityLabs across all its ten European campuses. UNIC CityLabs facilitate the collaboration of students, researchers, city stakeholders, organisations, and citizens to identify local societal challenges, co-create solutions to these problems, and ultimately implement the created solutions locally to drive societal change in post-industrial cities.
CityLabs address this urban agenda in many forms including workshops, hackathons, sprints, panel discussions, interviews, courses etc. Learn more about CityLabs on the UNIC website.
