Our Urban Design, Planning and Development program provides a distinctive educational journey. The curriculum is built around Urban Labs, linked modules, and field studies both locally and internationally.
You'll discover how urban design, planning, and development work together. This knowledge will equip you to shape urban futures and design exceptional spaces.
Key study areas include:
urban infrastructure
economic principles
cultural heritage
community place-making
environmental sustainability
global trends.
Through guest lectures and real-world projects, you'll bridge academic concepts with practical applications.
We connect students with industry partners and assist in building professional portfolios for career readiness. Alumni have secured positions at leading firms like Barton Willmore, Savills, AECOM, and various UK government agencies.
The program holds dual accreditation from the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) and the Royal Town Planning Institute (RTPI) when paired with either the Postgraduate Diploma in Planning or MSc in Spatial Planning.
