Course summary

Create cities for the future. Explore urban design, planning and development as you find creative and innovative ideas that address the challenges of today’s society.

Our course includes live projects from day 1 to equip you for a career in the industry. You’ll find out what being a working professional is like and gain experience of interpreting a brief, presenting to clients and getting feedback.

By following our project-based modules, you’ll be considering the true impact of your design in the real world. You’ll learn how to masterplan and consider how your proposals impact the development or the regeneration of an area and its environmental, social and economic sustainability. By graduation, you’ll have worked for at least 5 different clients through our live projects and developed a range of skills – even film making.

You’ll get a thorough grounding in theoretical knowledge thanks to the strong research background of our teaching staff. Plus, the portfolio which we help you develop along the course will impress future employers with the opportunities you’ve been engaged with.
