Benefits of the program
After a multi-disciplinary first year (geography, history, sociology) and gradual specialization, the L3 (3rd year) Urban Studies pathway provides general training in sociology and sound in-depth studies in urban planning. The training is delivered by sociologists and geographers expert in different cultural areas in urban, rural and social geography and experts in urban planning and development.
Acquired skills
Students from the L3 (3rd year) Sociology Urban Studies pathway are proficient in three major skills "clusters":
- study (which is normally associated with preparing planning documents and urban planning projects as well as in drafting territorial development strategies);
- management (which is applied to project management such as in managing spaces and urban infrastructure/installations);
- and conception (which not only concerns urban space architecture and development but also comprises a host of "design" approaches, including institutional, which are related to city production).
These professional skills clusters are required for various fields of urban action: local development, urban service, installation and event management, transports and mobility, housing, urban social policies, the environment and sustainable development. In these fields, career opportunities are generally found at Master's level. The privileged programme lasts for three years and includes a pre-professionalization urban studies year followed by two years of Master's in one of the Master's proposed by the Paris School of Planning (EUP).

Schedule of studies
The first semester covers the period from end September to end-of-year (Xmas) holidays. The first three weeks are devoted to first-semester exams, to juries and to enrolment for the second semester. This semester begins end January and lasts until mid-June, which includes the second-semester exam period and juries. Placement is carried out at the end of S6.
Your future career
Students following this pathway generally pursue their studies with the Urban Planning and Development Master's at the Paris School of Planning (EUP). It is also possible to choose another Master's such as those offered at UPEM: Spaces, Societies and Territories (jointly accredited with UPEC), Territorial Cultural Development or Web Careers and Culture. Students may then move into the following professions if they pursue studies with a Master's: Urban planning and development research officer, Urban planning and development project manager, Local government attaché, Local government editor, as well as to teaching professions (see the RNCP list (National Directory of Professional Certification)).
Study objectives
The 3rd year Sociology-Urban Studies pathway is intended as an introductory year to urban planning. It offers a rich array of courses and has several objectives: transmitting urban planning knowledge; providing training in urban projects; providing training in the use of tools. The courses also feature a wide variety of teaching forms, with tutorials (TD) making up a large part and significant weighting given to learning "in project mode", particularly in semester 2. Workshops are therefore an active teaching tool where students have to organize and conduct a group field study within the timeframe of one semester. The placement is optional and also provides an opportunity to gain experience in the workplace. On average a quarter of the students take advantage of placements every year. The Urban Studies Pathway classes are held on two sites: in the Paris School of Planning (EUP) and in the Social and Human Sciences (SHS) building.
