Overview

Urban Planning and Development with a Professional Placement Year is offered widely in the UK, so the useful comparison is between departments rather than between countries. It is a three year undergraduate degree, with the specialism widening as you move through the years.

Teaching in Urban and Regional Planning covers measurement, cost and contract law alongside the technical modules.

Applications open around a year ahead of the intake. Getting the documents together early is what keeps the September date realistic.
