Planning, Regeneration and Development - BSc (Hons), MSci (Hons)
The driving goal of the programme is to develop confident graduates with a clear understanding of the needs of the land and property development sectors; an ability to recognise and apply different evaluation and financial valuation practices at appropriate times; a sensitivity to the different needs, rights and priorities of different communities of interest, place and identity; and research, technical, intellectual and analytical capabilities to guide appropriate land use and property development to create community value in a holistic and inclusive way.
An Ulster University Planning, Regeneration and Development graduate will be able to demonstrate critical thinking skills and articulate alternative theoretical and applied ways in which spatial planning operates. In particular, graduates will be able to explain how to facilitate land and property development whilst meeting broader societal requirements and cultural expectations for the management of contested spaces, assets and heritage. It is anticipated, for example, that they will be able to make appropriate and timely use of negotiation, mediation, and advocacy skills; promote development that supports healthier life-styles and community wellbeing; and encourage sustainable behaviours in relation to travel and the use of limited resources in a global context.
The degree is designed to meet the needs of those aspiring to become chartered surveyors and/or chartered town planners concerned with securing the public interest in land and property development.
The degree is dual accredited by:
Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS)for the purposes of attaining chartered planning and development surveyor status; and also the
Royal Town Planning Institute (RTPI), for graduates who wish to attain chartered town planner status.
