Course Overview

What's covered in the course?

The BSc (Hons) Property Development and Planning course reflects the changing professional context of planning, land and property development, and the connections between the range of professions active in managing the built environment. Some of the content is shared with our other professionally accredited built environment courses, so you will receive a varied and comprehensive education focused towards relevant professional employment.  Understanding professional requirements, standards, ethics and behavior are important throughout the course – and your working life.

You will assess how property development can affect individuals and groups, examining the process and outcomes.  The financial aspects of property development and management are also covered. You will  look at how town planning can facilitate appropriate development: development plans, policies and projects, as well as examining the physical, technical, legal, environmental and political factors affecting development decisions. You will develop your awareness of the complexities and variety within and between different communities, as well as evaluating community participation and empowerment.
