Town and Regional Planning MPlan

The Town and Regional Planning MPlan programme is designed for those who wish to pursue a professional career in urban, regional and environmental planning in the UK or abroad. The programme is accredited by the Royal Town Planning Institute (RTPI) providing combined spatial and specialist accreditation. You’ll gain a rounded understanding of planning practice; learning about the forces and factors that contribute to sustainable development and the role that planning can play in mediating multiple interests. The MPlan offers two pathways with distinct specialisms in ‘Transforming Cities and Regions’ and ‘Spatial Planning for Environmental Change’. An interdisciplinary approach to study provides learning opportunities that draw upon the expertise of academics in Planning as well as academics in the departments of Geography, Sociology and Architecture.
