Overview

You will gain a critical understanding of how social, economic, environmental, and physical vulnerabilities underpin urban decline and how to address them. You will also gain essential skills and knowledge in planning, urban design, real estate, community engagement, and the governance and management of urban regeneration projects.

This Urban Regeneration at the UCL addresses the challenges of rejuvenating or restructuring declining areas in response to changes to the functioning of contemporary urban environments. We place social value at the heart of urban regeneration, critically exploring how to deliver urban transformations that benefit existing communities while maximising those places’ strengths and opportunities.

Other requirements

General requirements

An upper second-class honours Bachelor's degree (or higher) from a UK university or an overseas qualification of equivalent standing is required.

There is no particular subject requirement as the MSc provides an 'initial' planning and urban regeneration education for graduates with cognate or non-cognate degrees.

Where candidates fail to meet the standard requirement (i.e. they hold a degree of a lower classification), the department will take into account professional experience when deciding whether to admit.

Applicants who do not hold an upper second-class degree may, in exceptional cases, be admitted to the programme if they are able to demonstrate considerable senior-level professional experience in planning or a related field (but in all cases a minimum of a 2:2 is required).

The English language level for this programme is: Level 2
