Student Destinations

A planning-focused qualification can up up a diverse range of roles and opportunities. We’ve designed this course to provide you with the skills and knowledge necessary to pursue a career in town planning, either in the private or public sector, working in the UK or overseas.

Equipped with a solid understanding of planning, there may be opportunities for you to specialise in a particular field, such as regeneration, spatial planning or urban development. You might seek a role working with a local authority in their policy, development management, enforcement or regeneration teams.

Alternatively, you might prefer to focus your skills on planning consultancy where you can advise clients such as Government, developers and housebuilders, on matters such as climate change, master planning and large scale infrastructure development schemes.
