Unlike an MSc, the MSt (Master of Studies) is a part-time Master’s degree, designed for individuals who may be working full time as well as studying.
The modular structure of consolidated teaching blocks enables those living further away from Cambridge, including international students, to undertake a Master's. It allows you to develop your professional and academic interests for career progression, diversification and/or personal development.
Many MSt students will have some years of experience in the field prior to undertaking the programme. The Master’s in Interdisciplinary Design for the Built Environment (IDBE) MSt students have a minimum of three years' professional experience after graduating in their particular discipline.
IDBE is a two-year part-time Master's course for built environment professionals. It is structured around emerging trends, opportunities, and challenges within the built environment such as: sustainability and resilience, health and well-being, energy, efficiency, conservation and heritage, stakeholder engagement, and political and regulatory landscapes.
IDBE is delivered through a combination of six week-long residential workshops in Cambridge, and online learning modules.
