Overview

Programme structure

At its core, the Urban and Regional Planning programme of the University of Glasgow aims to promote the social scientific understanding of cities.

the economic underpinnings of urban and regional development

the processes and institutions of urban governance

the relationships between places and urban society.

You will also learn to demonstrate the value of research-based urban analysis and understanding. In this process, you will improve your own research skills.

To promote effective work across professional boundaries, you will critically appreciate the roles of a range of urban professionals and other stakeholders.

You will understand the importance of research and reflection as a route to successful urban planning innovation.

Career prospects

Graduates will find that opportunities exist in planning and development agencies, consultancies, property developers, local and regional authorities, regeneration and development agencies and government; and further study at PhD level.
