Course summary

Overview

The built environment is facing a whole host of challenges, from urbanisation to climate change. Not to mention the increasing demand for housing, pressure on transport systems, and changes to the way we work which has left many offices empty.

Designed with support from industry, our MSc Spatial Planning will help you take your first step towards chartership with RTIP and becoming the planner society needs. You’ll get insights from our researchers working on diverse projects in key areas like the urban planning concept of the 15-minute city, healthy cities, urban sustainability, Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), transportation, community development, strategic planning and many more.

The flexibility of the course means you won’t have to put your career on hold while you level up your skills. As well as recent graduates, we accept professionals without traditional qualifications. We’ll look at your portfolio and help you decide if the course is the right step for you.

Careers

Our graduates work in a wide range of government roles, both in the UK and abroad, as well as in private sector planning and related fields such as design and property development.

Local authorities are facing a shortage of planners, so you shouldn’t struggle to find opportunities when you finish the course. There are also private sector planning firms who will be searching for people with your skillset.

Many graduates use this course as a stepping stone to chartership, while others work in related fields such as property development, design, or housing. We have also had graduates secure roles with organisations like UN-Habitat which is the United Nations’ programme for human settlements and sustainable urban development.

Whatever you decide to do, you’ll graduate with a degree that meets industry needs. You’ll boast your own network of connections, thanks to our range of professional networking opportunities. Tell us what you want to achieve, and we’ll help you get there.

Students can also exit with Pgdip awards.
