The MSc Sustainable Planning and Transport is delivered in the Ebenezer Howard School of Planning, reflecting our unique location in the county which houses the world’s first garden cities and our focus on exploring the contemporary planning implications of this placemaking history.
Planning plays a key role to play in improving the condition of life in our towns, cities and rural areas. Towns and cities themselves impact on global sustainability and can play a very influential role in tackling global environmental, social and economic problems.
The breadth of material covered will give you the skills you need in order to meet contemporary sustainability challenges in planning cities and rural areas, with a particular focus on planning and environmental management. The planning system provides one of the most sophisticated mechanisms for regulating environmental change, global environmental, social and economic problems and implementing sustainability principles.
An honours degree with a minimum classification of second class (2.2) or higher in any subject.
