BSc City Planning & Environmental Policy
UCD Planning is the oldest, largest and most respected planning and environmental policy school in Ireland. Most planners currently
employed in Ireland were educated in the School. Planning and environmental policy involves understanding the world around us and building on such knowledge to create a better world. The Bachelor’s in City Planning & Environmental Policy is an employment focused degree, so if you are considering a career as a professionally qualified planner, urban designer or environmental policy analyst this degree is for you. This course is also accredited by both the Royal Town Planning Institute (RTPI) and the Irish Planning Institute (IPI).
This exciting programme is about solving complex issues that we experience in our everyday lives. Where should we build our schools, shops and stadiums? What can we do to conserve our unique natural environment? How can we protect our cultural heritage? Planners, environmental policy experts and urban designers tackle such issues on a daily basis. They do so by promoting sustainable development to improve our quality of life and enhance the natural environment. If you would like to make a positive difference to how our world works, then this programme is for you.
