Take the first steps towards becoming a Chartered Town Planner on our dual-accredited degree.
Our Master of Planning MPlan programme is accredited by the Royal Town Planning Institute (RTPI) and the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS). It's designed so you can fast-track your route to chartership.
Build your core competencies in urban planning, apply them through a year of professional practice, then refine and specialise them in your final year.
Our degree equips you with the practical knowledge, providing a solid foundation in:
urban planning processes
housing policy
climate change
urban design
You'll also undertake a year of paid professional practice, which contributes towards your professional experience for chartership.
Returning for a final year, you’ll specialise in today and tomorrow's key areas of planning. These are currently regeneration, conservation, or environmental planning.
Throughout the MPlan degree we use the real-life example of Newcastle to explore the impact that past, present and future planning decisions can have on existing built environments and communities.
You'll end your degree with valuable professional experience and a dual-accredited postgraduate qualification.
