This course is an exciting and creative profession that links a diverse range of subjects, including building design, sustainable development, urban regeneration, community engagement and much more. It is about creating quality places where people want to live and work. We also offer joint MA degrees with Geography and Economics - the Spatial Economics and Development degree combines elements from both Planning and Economics. The MA degree provides students with a sound knowledge and understanding of the built and natural environment and a range of transferable skills such as problem solving, IT, communications and team work. These qualities have allowed some of our graduates to obtain rewarding jobs in careers other than planning such as business management, retailing, computing and tourism.
