About the course

Our Urban Planning master's provides a core introduction to planning issues, professional and theoretical debates and their application to live cases and places. Urban Planning is the understanding of the place making processes that underpins places, society and the environment. It's also interdisciplinary, with professionals having an understanding across a range of topics. You'll gain an understanding of the fundamentals required for a successful career in planning or the wider built environment professions. The Urban Planning master's is fully accredited by the Royal Town Planning Institute (RTPI). The Development pathway is partially accredited by the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) and offers a RICS-accredited route to gain Chartered Surveyors status. The course is suitable: if you are new to studying planning and if you have studied planning before but in a different regulatory context. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
