BSc Planning and Real Estate

BSc Planning and Real Estate is a three-year degree which will provide you with the core academic and professional training required to effectively plan, develop and manage all aspects of our built and natural environments.

Understanding and engaging with the problems facing the communities and places in which we live, work and play is at the heart of what we do at The University of Manchester - as it is crucial in an age when governments and societies all over the world are struggling to deliver sustainable development.

And as a major UK city undergoing rapid urban change, Manchester provides an ideal base for exploring urban development pressures and how these shape economic, social and environmental futures.

The course is ideal if you:

are passionate about the factors that influence society and want to learn about the economic, political and socio-environmental systems, and how to manage these interactions sustainably;
want to take a vocationally-led degree that equips you with a wide range of hands-on technical, design, decision-making and communication skills that make you highly employable;
want to diversify your learning outside of lectures, enjoying a variety of field visits, work placement opportunities, working for 'real-world clients'; and the option to study abroad for a semester.
BSc Planning and Real Estate is accredited by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS), as well as a spatial qualification by the Royal Town Planning Institute (RTPI). To acquire full accreditation by the RTPI, you must also complete a specialist qualification, which can be achieved by transferring onto our four-year integrated master's course - find out more here
