The Faculty of Spatial Sciences of the University of Groningen, the Netherlands, and the Department of Architecture and Planning of Gadjah Mada University in Yogyakarta, Indonesia have created a Double Degree Master programme that combines the Master in Urban and Regional Planning at UGM with the master in Society, Sustainability and Planning in Groningen. Students start their two year programme with a year in Indonesia, followed by a year in the Netherlands.

Urban planning studies spatial conditions, and plans those for future needs. Our field of work is neigbourhoods, cities and regions. Across these scales and in all contexts, urban planning can't be separated from its social elements, for Sustainability challenges are interconnected with the communities that face them. The programme highlights social aspects and the human factor of the global transition towards a more sustainable society. Sustainability challenges are interconnected with the communities that face them.

Yogyakarta is home to thousands of students from across the world. Its unique landscape, heritage and culture make it an interesting and inspiring place for those studying urban planning. In Groningen, you will study at one of the world's leading universities. Learn from the best and take advantage of exciting research opportunities and live in a vibrant student city. Whatever you're seeking from your university experience, you'll find it in the dense (planning) community of Groningen.
