The MSc Sustainable Planning and Practice is delivered in the Ebenezer Howard School of Planning, reflecting our unique location in the county, home to the world’s first garden cities, and our focus on exploring the contemporary planning implications of this placemaking history.
Planning plays a key role in improving the condition of life in our towns, cities and rural areas. Towns and cities themselves impact on global sustainability and can play a very influential role in tackling global environmental, social and economic problems.
The breadth of material covered will give you the skills you need to meet contemporary sustainability challenges in planning cities and rural areas, with a particular focus on planning practice. The planning system provides one of the most sophisticated mechanisms for regulating environmental change, global environmental, social and economic problems and implementing sustainability principles.
You’ll benefit from a wide range of modules, from Planning Skills and Methods to Urban Design and & Conservation and Community Engagement.
This programme offers you opportunities to gain valuable skills in a much needed and fast changing professional area and makes you highly employable in a diverse range of disciplines which will allow you to contribute to the creation of more sustainable urban environments.
An honours degree with a minimum classification of second class (2.2) or higher in any subject.
