Overview

The Spatial Planning programme at the Oxford Brookes University takes a broad approach to the “traditional” field of city and regional or town and country planning. And combines core planning education with the development of expertise in specialist areas.

Quick Facts:

Taught by experienced practitioners and high-profile academics, the curriculum is at the cutting edge of practice. Everything we cover is designed to help you develop an international perspective and localised skills on spatial planning.
Our 3 core modules cover a combination of design and planning skills, as well as knowledge about sustainable development. You’ll also pick an optional module which aligns with your interests. What you choose will probably link to your plans for your dissertation.
The course includes an overseas field trip to expose you to practical examples of planning issues and approaches in another European country. Past destinations have included Barcelona, Frieburg, Amsterdam and Lyon (the field trip carries an additional cost).
Your final project will be a chance to explore the area that interests you. Many students decide to link this to their current role or have been asked by their employers to investigate a specific challenge.
