The MPhil curriculum combines course work (50%) and a minor dissertation (50%), a full-time load completed over a period of 18 months. The language of instruction is English.

In year one students complete the Masters coursework, which includes a compulsory City Research Studio, a choice of two of three interdisciplinary urban modules, and an urbanfocused elective.

In year two students write minor dissertations based on their own fieldwork, under the supervision
of expert faculty in either the Humanities, Engineering and the Built Environment, or Science Faculties
at the University of Cape Town.

There are funds available for students. The deadline for applications is 31 August.
