Urban Regeneration MSc addresses the challenge of urban decline and the planned recovery of our neighbourhoods and cities. This urban planning masters prepares you for a career leading urban regeneration efforts in neighbourhoods, towns, and cities. You will gain essential skills and knowledge in the governance, planning, design, and management of urban regeneration projects, considering human, financial, and governmental resources and the impact on communities.
From neighbourhoods, to towns, and whole cities, urban areas go through cycles of growth and decline that makes urban regeneration inevitable. This MSc addresses the challenges of rejuvenating and/or restructuring declining places in the wake of changes to the functioning of contemporary urban environments. The degree puts social value at its heart, and critically considers how to bring about urban transformations that benefit and cater for existing communities whilst maximising those places’ strengths and opportunities.
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).
