{{stub}}
The ''European Master in Comparative Urban Studies'' ('''e-URBs''') project was funded in 2005 under the EU Lifelong Learning Erasmus Virtual Campuses programme. Its primary goal was to create an international 'virtual international campus' for urban studies. 

Detailed project objectives [as outlined at that time] were:
* to strategically deploy a long lasting experience of the partners in online teaching aimed at further consolidating it at graduate and post-graduate level into a "virtual campus" like arrangement;
* to institutionalise a curricula of 60 ECTS in Comparative Urban Studies with an extensive online teaching (and tutoring) aimed at encouraging and facilitating the physical and virtual mobility between higher education systems and institutions across Europe fostering the Bologna process and the institutionalisation of a European Higher Education area;
* to use an innovative ODL learning environment for higher education (© Land of Learning) to monitor the effects on the interactive process and the use of learning objects;
* to disseminate and exchange good practices both among the partner universities, in the networks within which the partners are embedded and at major events. 

E-Urbs students spent a residency period in Urbino, but studied most modules online. On course completion they were awarded a European Master of Arts in Comparative Urban Studies degree.
