Study Details: MSc 1 year full-time, 2 years part-time, 5 years flexible
Shelter is one of the most basic human needs, yet few governments have adequately addressed the development of sufficient housing that is the right type, of the right quality, and in the right locations. This urban planning master's course provides critical perspectives on the role of planning policy and practice in development, the financing and management of housing projects, and strategies to reduce the environmental impact of housing. Housing and City Planning MSc is designed for urban professionals and graduates seeking to specialise in housing development.
Housing development needs to be both accessible and affordable while satisfying our basic human needs. Thoughtful design can ensure these developments also contribute to achieving social and environmental goals. The Housing and City Planning MSc provides a comprehensive perspective on housing development, offering critical insights from planning, design, and project management viewpoints. By the end of your degree, you will be equipped to work within regulatory contexts and develop realistic housing proposals that are feasible in terms of policy compliance and financing. Our multidisciplinary education integrates aspects of urban planning, housing studies, real estate, urban design, and more under three overarching themes: planning for housing, economics and management, and sustainability.
An upper second-class honours Bachelor's degree (or higher) from a UK university or an overseas qualification of equivalent standing is required. Admissions tutors may, at their discretion, consider applications from students who have not achieved this but hold professional qualifications (e.g. RTPI) or can demonstrate substantial work experience in the field of housing development, planning for housing, or housing design. (Applicants will still be expected to meet the minimum UCL requirement of a 2:2, however.)
