Urban Studies (BA)
Continuing your studies
If you want to continue in Urban Studies, the next step after obtaining your bachelor’s is a master’s degree (MA) at a Dutch or international university. And there may be no better place for your further master’s study than Leiden University!
Choosing a master’s programme
If you decide to continue your studies with a master's programme, you will find that graduates from the Urban Studies bachelor’s programme are eligible for many master’s programmes in fields such as the humanities, law and the social sciences.
- Depending on the electives you choose within the BA Urban Studies, you are eligible for the MSc Industrial Ecology, MSc Governance of Sustainability or MSc Law and Society.
- Additionally, you will also be able to opt for a master's programme in fields such as criminology, psychology, public administration or pedagogy. To be eligible for these programmes you are required to do a pre-master or minor in this field.
- If you want to continue your studies at another Dutch university, there are also options, for example the Research Master’s in Urban Studies at the University of Amsterdam or Urban Governance at Erasmus University Rotterdam.
- Our Urban Studies bachelor’s also provides a strong foundation for several international master’s programmes such as Urban Studies at University College London, United Kingdom, or Nordic Urban Planning Studies at Roskilde University, Denmark.
