UWE Bristol's MSc Planning and Urban Leadership is a planning qualification, delivered through distance learning, which allows you to choose when and where you learn.

The course is about creating planning professionals who are visionary, innovative and confident in leading projects and teams. Whether you're looking to make a start in planning-related fields or you already work in the profession, the MSc Planning and Urban Leadership is designed to provide the core planning education and specialism expertise you need to make your mark in these growing sectors.

We're currently seeking re-accreditation of this course by the Royal Town Planning Institute (RTPI) for it to satisfy the full educational requirements of the institute and graduates can become licentiate members and progress towards becoming chartered members of the RTPI.

The course is delivered by a Planning School, with a broad range of staff, the majority of whom are professional members of the institute with both practice and academic backgrounds. You'll be taught by widely-published academics, who'll bring the benefit of their own industry experience as well as feeding the latest research directly into your learning.
