Course summary

The courses’s primary focus is to provide professional planning skills. It is designed to take your broad knowledge of planning and provide the detail that will give you theprofessional skills and experience you’ll need to forge a career in this area. You can learn the use of techniques (GIS, design software, statistical analysis) but more importantly, how to apply them to solve problems, create new solutions for the built environment and understand the complexity of environmental management. You’ll be working in an applied problem-solving environment, confronting genuine challenges in the field and making a real contribution to sustainable environments. We place an emphasis on projects on live planning problems such as a Development Plan exercise for a client (local authority), on studio work and applied learning outside the class including problem-solving with controversial proposals, such as fracking and wind farm applications. You’ll work with your fellow students in teams to find practical approaches to the management and development of the built environment.
