Bachelor of Science Urban Planning

This BSc(Hons) Urban Planning will encourage students to consider the contemporary challenges affecting place and society today.

Students will learn how to design and deliver development and change, and find out about the individuals and groups they will need to work with to carry out successful projects. They'll examine current issues such as the impact of driverless cars, and develop the knowledge and skillset they will need to be a future-facing, visionary practitioner.

Accredited by the Royal Town Planning Institute, the course will enhance students' employability through opportunities to work on live project briefs across the city and meet active practitioners. They'll also undertake inspiring field work showcasing the differences that planners have brought about.

Students will be able to work with real-life clients through a professional experience module included in year two. Where possible, students can also experience global planning practice through study exchanges, and develop wide-ranging skills that extend from design to the financial appraisal of a project.
