Course Overview

 

Where better to study such a topic than the heart of London, one of the world’s most exciting cities, and a place that is constantly changing and evolving to meet the needs of its citizens? As the home of many global players in the development industry, you’ll benefit from amazing networking and placement opportunities and access to inspiring guest lecturers and visits to real projects.

There is currently a national shortage of professional planners and an unsatisfied demand from both the public and private sectors after over a decade of public sector austerity.

Teaching and learning

All members of the academic team are research active, participating in local, national, and international projects and publishing academic books and peer-reviewed journal articles. This ensures that staff remains at the cutting edge of their specific areas of expertise, providing students with the benefit of access to new insights and debates.

The course is delivered in a variety of ways. Most modules have traditional formal lectures alongside seminars, tutorials, group discussions, individual and group presentations and role-play exercises (such as a mock planning enquiry). Many modules also include guest speakers and visits to live projects in and around London.

The course is assessed entirely by coursework, there are no exams. The assessments include traditional essays and professional reports, site analysis, development proposals, viability assessments, portfolios, research proposals, visual poster displays and group / individual presentations.
