Sustainable Urbanism MSc teaches you the skills and knowledge to build your career tackling sustainability challenges in urban environments. The degree explores the multiple challenges posed by urbanisation today, by bringing together sustainable urban development theory and practice to advance future sustainability of our towns and cities.
You will gain an understanding of sustainable urbanism research themes, critically analysing the latest thinking and debates in sustainable development. By exploring urban case studies from around the world you will explore the tensions and synergies between the institutional, environmental, social and economic objectives of sustainability. We draw from multiple disciplinary perspectives including urban planning geography, ecology, urban design and sociology to give you a holistic understanding of sustainability in urban environments. Through hands-on project work you will gain a practical understanding of the delivery of sustainable urbanism by engaging with plans and designs.
Normally a minimum of an upper second-class Bachelor’s degree (or higher) from a UK university or an overseas qualification of an equivalent standard. There is no particular subject requirement as the MSc provides an ‘initial’ planning 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 in planning or a related field when deciding whether to admit a candidate. Applicants who do not hold a first 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. In such situations, a special qualifying essay will be set
