MSc Housing and City Planning

  • DeadlineStudy Details: 1 year - 5 years

Masters Degree Description

Shelter is one of the most basic human needs, yet few governments have adequately addressed the development of sufficient housing that is the right type, of the right quality, and in the right locations. This urban planning master's course provides critical perspectives on the role of planning policy and practice in development, the financing and management of housing projects, and strategies to reduce the environmental impact of housing. Housing and City Planning MSc is designed for urban professionals and graduates seeking to specialise in housing development.

Entry Requirements

An upper second-class honours Bachelor's degree (or higher) from a UK university or an overseas qualification of equivalent standing is required. Admissions tutors may, at their discretion, consider applications from students who have not achieved this but hold professional qualifications (e.g. RTPI) or can demonstrate substantial work experience in the field of housing development, planning for housing, or housing design. (Applicants will still be expected to meet the minimum UCL requirement of a 2:2, however.)
