Introduction to MSc Town Planning
Already have an ARU degree? You may be eligible for our Alumni Scholarship for students starting postgraduate courses. You may also, (or alternatively) be eligible for the Royal Town Planning Institute scholarship for September 2025.
How do you balance progress with sustainability or the needs of the many with the interests of the few? These questions are ever more significant in the UK, yet qualified planners are in short supply.
Study with us and you’ll gain the all-round professional skills required to shape policy and strategy, plan sustainably, negotiate or manage the planning process, and balance competing priorities.
