This MSc addresses the challenges of places in need of rejuvenation, reinvention or complete restructuring in the wake of changes to the functioning of contemporary urban environments. From single buildings to neighbourhoods, towns, and whole cities, urban areas go through cycles of growth and decline, periodic regeneration in whole or in part is inevitable. Drawing on theory and practice, you will learn how and to what extent the governance, planning, design, and management of the built environment can help to regenerate ‘places in need’, with what resources (human, financial and governmental) and with what consequences for communities and citizens.
An upper second-class honours Bachelor’s degree (or higher) from a UK university or an overseas qualification of equivalent standing is required. There is no particular subject requirement as the MSc provides an ‘initial’ planning and urban regeneration education for graduates with cognate or non-cognate degrees. Where candidates fail to meet the standard requirement (i.e. they hold a degree of a lower classification), the department will take into account professional experience when deciding whether to admit. Applicants who do not hold an upper second-class degree may, in exceptional cases, be admitted to the programme if they are able to demonstrate considerable senior-level professional experience in planning or a related field (but in all cases a minimum of a 2:2 is required).
