Planning with Real Estate The University of Manchester

Overview

The curriculum for the first three years is the same as our BSc Planning and Real Estate, in which you will consider the issues faced by professionals in dealing with the planning, development and management of all aspects of our built and natural environments.

The fourth year of study is at taught master's level, and provides professional training in planning, real estate and property development. However, if you change your mind about your future career, you can choose to exit the MPlan after three years and graduate with a BSc Planning and Real Estate.

Understanding and engaging with the problems facing the communities and places in which we live, work and play is at the heart of what we do in the department of Planning and Environmental Management at The University of Manchester. Effective planning, development and management of our towns, cities and countryside is crucial in an age when governments and societies all over the world are struggling to deliver sustainable development.

The MPlan Planning with Real Estate course from The University of Manchester satisfies the spatial planning curricula for initial qualification with the RTPI and the Commercial Property Practice, Valuation, and Planning and Development pathways.
