Queen's University Belfast

In a world facing environmental, social and economic challenges, how we manage changes to our natural and built environments will be crucial for our future. In our urbanised world, how we design and plan our cities impacts our environmental sustainability, health and even happiness. 

This course has a strong focus on understanding the complexity of urban problems through real-world live projects. You will develop planning research, urban design analysis and design skills before deciding whether to complete an urban design thesis or dissertation. Both of these options can be completed as work-based studies with opportunities for summer placements. This programme will equip you with the skills to be part of making progressive changes in your place.
