Planning Courses
The course consists of two separate components. The primary three-year element (Stages 1-3) leads to the degree BSc in Environmental Planning. Students graduating with a 2ii Honours or better are then permitted to progress to a further year of specialised postgraduate study in Planning.
The overall aim is to provide both a general and specialist education for those wishing to work in the broad field of Town and Country Planning in the public, private or voluntary sectors. The 3 year BSc followed by a year of postgraduate study is accredited by the Royal Town and Planning Institute, so that after a short period of work experience, graduates may become Chartered Town Planners, necessary for some areas of Planning employment.
Although the programme has been devised primarily for students wishing to enter the Planning profession, care has also been taken to ensure that graduates of the primary BSc in Environmental Planning course are equipped with skills that will open up a wide range of job opportunities with government, local authorities, developers, and various sections of the building industry.
