Overview

Throughout the Urban Planning (Hons) BSc programme from UWE Bristol (University of the West of England) you will learn how to design and deliver development and change, and find out about the individuals and groups you will need to work with to carry out successful projects.

Career opportunities:

There is a projected shortage of planners so there will be a range of opportunities in the public, private and voluntary sectors.

You could choose a career in an area linked to the environment such as housing, tourism, economic development, regeneration, and environmental protection. You could also go into research and teaching.

Many of the students progress to become professional members of the Royal Town Planning Institute (RTPI). The quickest route for this requires further study. Options for this at the UWE Bristol Planning School include MSc Urban Planning or MSc Planning and Urban Leadership. Both of these programmes can be studied in full and part-time modes to fit around your individual circumstances.

Accreditation

This course satisfies the necessary learning outcomes of the Royal Town Planning Institute (RTPI) and is accredited as a spatial planning degree.
