- Plan making - This module introduces students to the core skills necessary to conceive of, develop and write appropriate plans for a range of spatial scales in a range of sectors. It requires students to evaluate the potential for imaginative responses to planning challenges at a range of spatial scales including neighbourhood, local, strategic and international. Plan-making incorporates a European field trip.
- Implementation and design quality - This module offers a practical and theoretical understanding of the mechanisms and system of planning. It provides students with the analytical skills needed to make outcome based planning decisions, underpinned by the 'development management' approach, which focusses on the quality of the outcome and the effectiveness of the process. The module is project-based and you will work with spatial planning students.
- Dissertation - This includes research training and the potential for a work placement.
