Celebrating ten years of the Urban Studies MSc
5 December 2018
Competitive quizzing and the search for a promotional slogan
The first decade of MyAV·¶âs MSc Urban Studies programme was celebrated on 29 November with an  organized by the course convenor, Dr Andrew Harris. The programme, run by MyAV·¶ Geography, had been launched by the MyAV·¶ Urban Laboratory in September 2008.
Over forty former students from the last decade, as well as staff associated with the programme, enjoyed an evening at the Star of Kings pub in Kingâs Cross.
This included an urban-themed quiz (one team called itself, âTest of the dâUrbanvillesâ!), and ended with a âteasing tie-breakerâ question from Professor Jenny Robinson.
Various ideas were also exchanged for slogans to promote the course, ranging from the quasi-political, âUrban studies: For the many, not the fewââ, to the whimsical, âCity city, bang bangâ.
