The Bartlett's strong research track record and links to professional practice will feed into the core and specialist aspects of the programme, ensuring that contemporary issues are constantly addressed.
•

The Bartlett maintains an international outlook and provides opportunities for combined study overseas in Europe, North America,
Australia and Hong Kong.
The overall aim of the programme is to equip students with a coherent understanding of urbanism and the built environment, with a particular focus on the role of real estate investment, development and appraisal. It enables students to combine a sound theoretical foundation with an awareness of practice, and provides knowledge about the various roles and responsibilities of urban professionals in society.
Students will be equipped with relevant theories, methodologies, skills, and techniques taken from both the social science and design disciplines that aim to develop a capacity for creative thinking and problem solving.
In the first year, students follow eight core courses, one of which is directly related to the real estate specialism and the others seek to build core knowledge, competencies and skills across the discipline.
In years two and three the courses specific to real estate increase.
Students are eligible to apply to study abroad in the second term of year two.
The School of Planning advocates and employs a very interactive, hands-on form of learning. Alongside lectures, seminars and tutorials we include field visits, group project work, and laboratory and design work sessions to improve your learning experience.
Means of assessment are balanced throughout the programme with a combination of individual and group work, essays, project work and other skills-based practical work, and examinations.
The programme enables you to acquire highly transferable knowledge and skills such as data collection and analysis; resolution of problems and conflicts; negotiation and mediation; presenting complex data and ideas; managing work tasks; preparing and writing professional reports; and preparing and using graphics for effective presentations.
Graduates will be equipped to take up employment in a vast range of positions with the property and planning sectors where their analytical, negotiating and problem-solving skills will be valued. Demand for people with planning skills combined with knowledge of the real estate sector in the UK and abroad is strong.
Due to the nature of our BSc programmes as a route for eligible membership of RICS/RTPI, it is also expected that many of our students will go on to further study.
The first cohort of students admitted to this programme will graduate in
2015. First destinations of recent graduates (2010-2013) of related programmes include:
•
Full-time student, MPhil in Planning, Growth and Regeneration at the
University of Cambridge
