URBAN FELLOWS PROGRAMME


2021-22




6+ YEARS

150+ STUDENTS

100+ PROJECTS

150+ PLACEMENTS



THE URBAN FELLOWS PROGRAMME (UFP) | 2022-23

India’s urban transition is unprecedented in scale and complexity. Within it lie
both the opportunities of economic development and greater employment as well as
the challenges of persistent inequality, extreme deprivation and environmental
degradation. The UFP offers the chance to be a part of shaping this transition.



The UFP is scholarship-based, nine-month, full-time, residential,
interdisciplinary and based at the IIHS City Campus in Bengaluru. It seeks to
combine classroom teaching, site-based applied learning, work in live projects,
and external internships to introduce Fellows to diverse forms of urban
practice. The Programme is open to recent graduates and young professionals from
varied educational backgrounds or practice domains. The sixth batch of the UFP
will graduate in May 2022.

SHAPE INDIA’S URBAN TRANSITION

Many recent graduates and undergraduates are interested in working on the
complex challenges that are encountered in contemporary cities. However, they
are not sure how to shape their research and practice to engage with these
issues. The UFP prepares Fellows to find their own practice and perspective on
how to shape India’s urban transition – a critical  opportunity that will define
India’s future over the next century.

DEVELOP SKILLS FOR REAL-LIFE PROBLEMS

A core part of the UFP is to build a robust set of skills. UFP focuses on the
key skills an urban practitioner needs to prepare for the future. These include 
technical, analytical, professional and importantly, interpersonal skills.

See the full set of Skill Labs in UFP

ENGAGE WITH THOUGHT LEADERS

Throughout the UFP, Masterclasses provide Fellows the opportunity to meet,
engage with, and learn from thought leaders from across disciplines, fields and
practice sectors. This engagement is not just to gain technical knowledge, but
to learn how to craft a life in practice, and make ethical, strategic and
effective professional choices.

See the full of list of Masterclasses

ACQUIRE INTERDISCIPLINARY KNOWLEDGE

If urban problems cross disciplinary and sectoral lines, can knowledge remain
within silos? Regardless of their disciplinary training, Fellows will acquire
interdisciplinary knowledge and skill sets that can be a foundation for urban
careers across sectors and practice domains.

GAIN URBAN WORK EXPERIENCE

The UFP provides for a two-month internship placement at a range of
institutions—public and private, local and national, and across sectors and
domains. These internships allow Fellows to immediately apply their learnings
from the course, build professional networks and explore post-programme work
opportunities.
