About the course
This course allows students to develop core knowledge and skills related to the regeneration and development of cities. You will gain experience of how to identify urban development opportunities and challenges, and devise appropriate regeneration solutions. You will receive a thorough grounding for a career in urban development, regeneration or planning, developing professional skills through project work. You will have the flexibility to develop a specialism by choosing from a range of optional course units, including fieldwork opportunities in the UK and abroad. Students completing the relevant modules can go on to qualify after graduation as chartered members of one or both of the professional bodies which accredit the programme, the Royal Town Planning Institute and the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors.
At Manchester, we’re proud to be home to a variety of talented graduates, such as Robyn Skerratt, who was named Royal Town Planning Institute (RTPI) Young Planner of the Year for 2020. Robyn, who graduated from Planning in 2010, currently works for the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office and, among other achievements across numerous planning roles, oversaw the delivery of the UK’s first Voluntary National Review of progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals, presented to the United Nations in July 2019.
