Our MSc prepares you to launch a successful career in planning, equipping you with the research, design, and policy skills valued by employers across the public, private, and third sectors.
You’ll explore the forces shaping cities and rural areas, learn how research informs policy and practice, and apply your knowledge to real-world planning challenges, with opportunities to specialise through optional modules. The course combines rigorous academic learning with practical, hands-on experience, giving you a deep understanding of the factors that shape cities, towns, and rural areas across the UK, Europe, and the rapidly urbanising Global South.
We cover the full spectrum of planning practice, from understanding urban design principles and the development process to engaging with policy, governance, and public administration. Modules such as Planning and the Development Process, Urban Design: Principles and Processes, and Plan Making provide a blend of theoretical grounding and applied skills, enabling you to analyse, design, and evaluate real-world planning projects. Optional modules allow you to tailor your learning to your own career goals, whether that’s in urban regeneration, housing, or sustainability.
