The programme is curated for social science students who want to acquire a broad-based understanding of contemporary urban development utilising state of the art techniques in spatial analysis.

The programme focuses on smart cities and urban informatics. 

Smart Cities and Urban Informatics (SCUI) is a unique 1-year (2 semester), English language, 32- credit MA program offered to international students.

The Goal of the Program is to equip a new generation of urbanists (planners, analysts and policy makers) with the requisite tool box for addressing the development of the Smart City. This includes both the hands-on analytical skills and the critical faculties to address the current and anticipated future challenges posed by Smart Cities.  The Hebrew University has an agenda to become a leader in this field where prospects for growth worldwide seem unbounded (autonomous vehicles, volunteered geographic information, Internet of Things etc). The Social Science Faculty has a mandate to develop a new social science agenda in this area and the SCUI program advances this goal.
