This Masters programme is designed to prepare you for a career in urban planning and management, primarily in the Global South (but also in the Global North in so far as they explicitly deal with issues in the Global South) by providing opportunities for upgrading your knowledge and skills in a range of disciplines.
This programme allows for the development of both theoretical and practical learning through a mix of learning and teaching techniques that are both classroom and field-based. As part of this programme you will undertake a desk-based interdisciplinary critical review project and an international work placement project.
Core modules ensure the acquisition of essential knowledge and skills for a profession in planning. These are complemented by a range of optional modules that allow the development of interdisciplinary learning while providing the flexibility to accommodate your individual interests and career aspirations. This programme as a whole provides an international, interdisciplinary and industry-focused perspective in planning.
Who is this programme for?
We welcome applications from university graduates from a wide range of disciplines.
