After graduation of the Erasmus Mundus - Redesigning the Post-Industrial City programme at University of Oulu you will have broad knowledge of:

• urban transformations and urban design in a global perspective; and are able to apply this knowledge in practice, and across different jurisdictions,
• the interdependent human and environmental urban systems,
• sociological and cultural approaches towards urban dynamics and actors, understanding major local and global historical developments influencing urban settings,

• dynamics and processes involved in the revitalisation of post industrial cities from the social science, sustainability, and circular economy perspectives.

• critically analyse and evaluate data found in the digital space and have insights into the foundation needed to apply data analytics to real-world post industrial urban transformation,
• critically analyse factors influencing different spaces within urban settings but also an ability to compare between different cities,
• deal with modern geospatial data resources (acquisition, maintenance, analysis, and cartographic visualisation of spatio-temporal transformation processes in urban areas),
• communicate and translate between different professional orientations and cultures, learned to build up empathy, work with different social groups, to bring together different perspectives and to work in transnational teams, 
• serve as curator of interdisciplinary transformation processes
• think beyond boundaries and to explore and generate new ideas that can be applied to current and emergent needs.
