COURSE CURRICULUM

The Urban Planning degree provides a comprehensive program designed to equip students with the knowledge, skills, and practical experience needed to address the challenges of contemporary cities and built environments. In the first year, students develop foundational skills in professional practice, law, economics, and urban planning principles, while also gaining experience in design, data analysis, and contemporary planning issues. The second year builds on this foundation, focusing on construction finance, risk management, urban economics, development appraisal, and environmental planning. Students also gain practical experience with digital tools, remote sensing, GIS, and design techniques to understand and shape urban spaces. In the final year, students explore planning theories in context, urban mobility, planning policy, and the development of future cities. The course culminates in a research dissertation that allows students to apply their skills to real-world problems, alongside the development of teamwork and leadership capabilities. Through this structured progression, students gain a blend of technical, analytical, and professional skills, enabling them to understand, evaluate, and shape urban environments. Graduates are prepared to address the economic, social, and environmental challenges facing modern cities, applying innovative solutions and evidence-based strategies to create sustainable, inclusive, and resilient urban spaces.
