The Master of Urban Design (MUD) programme at the University of Toronto's Daniels Faculty foregrounds equity in the built environment, exploring practice-based design knowledge as a medium for engaging the social and ecological challenges produced by global urbanisation.

The two-year post-professional programme builds connections to urban planning – and more broadly to the social and environmental sciences – to explore speculative design thinking as a lens to reimagine the policies, infrastructures and economies that govern city building today.

Post-professional programmes are open to international and domestic students with professional degrees in architecture, landscape architecture or in the case of the MUD programme, a related field with demonstrated design ability and experience.
