The programme aims to provide students with knowledge and understanding relating to the field of urban and environmental planning, and to deliver an appropriate range of skills for spatial planning. It meets the training guidelines set by the Royal Town Planning Institute (RTPI) in terms of core knowledge, competence/skills and specialised study. On graduation students can proceed to become chartered planners and members of the RTPI.
The MPLAN programme provides full dual accreditation from both the Royal Town Planning Institute (RTPI) and the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS). Accreditation from the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) is under the Planning and Development (P&D) specialism.
