Course Overview

If you are passionate about current and emerging challenges facing our towns, cities, and rural areas, want to help shape our future built and natural environments, and want to study planning at the heart of one of the world’s most exciting cities then the MA or the PG Diploma Town and Country Planning* provide the answer. The courses focus on interactions between people and places and how to facilitate high-quality developments in the right location.

At LSBU, ‘We Educate Britain’s Town Planners’ focuses clearly on the British Town Planning system but the course includes international perspectives to provide useful comparisons.

The MA is fully accredited by the RTPI. The PgDip is fully accredited when taken after completion of the BA UEP. With two years of relevant work experience (with at least 1 year of this experience gained whilst registered as a licentiate), you can apply to take the RTPI Assessment of Professional Competence exam and become a chartered member of the RTPI

Our academic staff have expertise in a range of planning-related fields and are all research active with a strong track record in national and international research networks, projects, and publications.

General Eligibility

Applicants should have at least a UK lower-second first degree (2:2) or overseas equivalent, although priority will be given to applicants with an upper-second or first. All disciplines are acceptable in line with RTPI and LSBU objectives of widening participation.

Applicants with a non-cognate degree and several years of relevant work experience may be offered a place if they can demonstrate a suitable level of specialist subject knowledge.
