Summary
Built for success Our cities are the beating heart of our communities, societies and economies. They’re the intricate networks of design, development, decisions and policies that impact the lives of everyone every day. Urban planners play a crucial role in balancing all of these functions, and without their expertise, society wouldn’t be able to function.
As urban populations continue to grow exponentially, the need to align development with sustainability is paramount. On our part-time, online MSc Urban Planning programme, you’ll study the relationship between our urban and natural environments, and gain the knowledge and expertise needed to help realise a sustainable built environment.
Programme details This part-time online programme will provide you with the platform from which you can play a key role in the creation and development of sustainable urban environments. It will guide you through and provide you with the foundational knowledge and critical skills needed at every stage of the planning process.
From the history and principles of planning to the many complex social, legal and economical factors that influence it, your studies will hone your ability to synthesise information from various sources, negotiate and solve complex planning conflicts, and provide significant value to the health and well-being of communities.
