MSc Urban Design and City Planning

  • DeadlineStudy Details: 1 year - 5 years

Masters Degree Description

UCL’s Urban Design and City Planning MSc equips you with a multidisciplinary skill set crucial for careers in urban design, city planning, and related fields. You will learn to use urban design as a creative planning tool, understanding the interplay between urban design and city planning. Combining theoretical knowledge with practical experience, you will be well-prepared for roles in urban planning and design, with opportunities in public authorities, government agencies, urban design practices, consultancy firms, and international organisations focused on sustainable urban 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. Where candidates fail to meet the standard requirement (i.e. they hold a degree of a lower classification), the department will take into account professional experience in planning or a related field when considering the application. Applicants who do not hold a good second-class degree may, in exceptional cases, be admitted to the programme if able to demonstrate considerable senior-level professional experience in planning or a related field (but in all cases a minimum of a 2:2 is required).
