Additional Information

Careers

• Highly skilled Urban Planning graduates are in high demand with various areas of employment available, including environmental consultancy, local development planning, urban regeneration, urban design and transport planning.
• Graduates from similar courses have progressed into roles within local authorities, public bodies, consultancies and advocacy, and non-governmental organisations.
• The skills of Urban Planning graduates are also very desirable in professions beyond planning. Employers are particularly attracted to planning students’ skills in analysis, critical thinking and communication.

Placement year

• Our Urban Planning course gives you the option to incorporate a placement year of paid work in industry after your second year of study. Most placements are fully salaried, with typical salaries from £17,000 to £22,000.
• Integrated within our course from the first year is an emphasis on your own professional development, encouraging you to undertake extra-curricular activities such as Planning Aid. Planning Aid works with local communities and individuals to support them in contributing to planning such as the development of a Neighbourhood Plan. These types of activities will assist you in gaining valuable experience and developing a professional network to assist in securing a placement.
• As part of the development of our new Urban Planning course, we have established relationships with the planning community nationally and locally in the East Midlands. Placement opportunities could range from local planning authorities and independent planning consultancies through to national government agencies.
