Urban planning is concerned with the complex management of change within the built and natural environment. This programme, accredited by the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (RICS), mapped to the Planning and Development pathway, and recognised by the Royal Town Planning Institute (RTPI), gives you the skills to work in both traditional planning careers and in various related professional and specialist areas. The programme is structured carefully to equip students with a coherent understanding of urbanism and the built environment with a focus on the role of urban planning, urban design and urban management.Core modules are structured around three streams of understanding, managing and delivering urban change, with specialist modules covering transport, climate change, rural planning, urban regeneration and real estate. The hands-on project-based stream "Delivering Urban Change" is designed to allow students to put into practice the knowledge gained through the two other streams.
