Doctor of Professional Practice in Planning and Housing Studies (DProf. Planning and Housing)

In addition to the existing DEng program, we have an exciting new suite of six doctoral programmes aimed at practising professionals in the built environment. Our professional doctorates will provide you the opportunity to demonstrate and develop advanced knowledge and skills necessary to undertake and complete a practical research and development project.

The professional doctorate in planning and housing studies builds on the reputation of Leeds Planning School, first established in 1938, and on the research expertise of our teaching staff in heritage, urban green space, sustainable design, community resilience, community planning, social and community-led housing, and women and the built environment. Doctoral research projects will be complemented by staff research expertise in urban governance and regeneration, culture and heritage-based regeneration, housing policy and international disaster planning perspectives.
