The curriculum is designed to inter-link three thematic areas:

The first group of 15 students gathered together in September 2018 in Glasgow to start their two-year study programme. Modules of Induction, Sustainable Cities, GIS and Data manage-ment were carried out in GCU with visiting lecturers from partner universities.

MUrCS students arrived in Lahti at the beginning of January. The students got acquainted during Finnish winter sports and gamesin Asikkala.

MUrCS programme 2017-2022Erasmus+ grant covers three intakes to MUrCS programme, during 2018-2020. The chosen students start the first semester in Glasgow Caledonian University which is also the coordinator of the whole programme. Teachers from other partner and associated partner universities visit modules arranged during the semester.

In January the group moves to Finland where Lahti University of Applied Sciences hosts the second semester with visiting teachers. The student group is divided according their interest to all the three partner universities for the following two semesters. The students return back to Glasgow in the end of the studies to present their Master thesis.
