Course Details

If you are passionate about the current and emerging challenges facing our cities, towns and rural areas, you want to help shape our future and the natural environment and want to study planning at the heart of other exciting cities around the world then MA Town and Country. Editing provides the answer. Studies focus on the interaction between people and place and how to achieve high quality development in the right environment. These courses are wholly approved by the Royal Town Planning Institute. After graduation you can become a licensed member of RTPI. LSBU’s academic staff has a wide range of expertise in the field related to planning and all research works with a strong track record on national and international networks, projects and publications.

There is currently a national shortage of professional planners and a demand from the public and private sectors after more than a decade of public sector freedom. There is also a need for rescuers on the world stage. As the world battles with climate change, urbanization, population growth and changing working conditions and lifestyles will be invaluable in our future planning for this future if we avoid large-scale environmental and social disturbances. Successful students can find jobs in central government, local government, non-governmental organizations, housing associations and quangos. By providing extensive communication with public, private and voluntary employers we often find that employers often approach us first looking for qualified and passionate applicants.

A high proportion of graduating students receive employment in the field within six months of graduating from the public, private and voluntary sectors. Some students take jobs by the end of the lesson. Local authorities and private consulting firms are major employers as there are companies and other organizations with large assets and property and our alumni are found in senior positions exclusively in London and the South East of England.
