The Bartlett School of Planning at UCL is a leading centre for

planning education and research. Established in 1914, it has been
home to some of the most well-known figures in British planning,
including Sir Patrick Abercrombie, Lord William Holford,
Lord Richard Llewelyn Davies and Sir Peter Hall.
The School began offering masters level

courses in planning in the 1960s. The first was
its MPhil Town Planning, which welcomed
its first students in 1964. This was followed by
courses in European Property Development
and Urban Regeneration in the late 1990s.
The last 15 years have seen significant growth
in planning education at UCL. During
that time, the number of staff members
quadrupled to 35, with a similar ratio of
growth in undergraduate, postrgraduate
taught and doctoral student numbers. In
2013/14, there were more than 500 students
studying planning at all levels at UCL.
This growth in numbers has tracked our
successes in research and in attracting some
of the very best planning researchers and
teachers to the School. We have a strong
track-record in urban design, in urban
regeneration, in infrastructure planning and
transport, in local and regional development,
in housing and in debating the nature of
planning and its purpose. Added to this, the
School contains staff members from many
disciplinary backgrounds: from architecture
and urban design through geography,
sociology, economics, political science, real
estate and of course planning and planning
practice. Our key concern is with the
contribution that planning can make to
the creation of sustainable places.
The School benefits greatly from its position

in a global top-ten research university and
in a Faculty of the Built Environment
The Bartlett with an international
reputation in architecture, planning and
development planning, construction and
project management and a range of
related disciplines.
Today, the School offers three undergraduate
and ten post-graduate (taught) degree
programmes in many aspects of planning.
These build on the schools reputation for
excellent, policy-focused research. Each aims
to equip students with the skills and the
knowledge needed for a career in planning
or in related areas of professional practice.
All are accredited by the UKs professional
institutes for planning and property: the
Royal Town Planning Institute and the Royal
Institution of Chartered Surveyors. We hope
that this brochure will help you navigate
around our various programmes and find the
one that best fits with your career goals.

UCL: Londons Global University
Founded in 1826 to open up education in England for the

first time to students of any race, class or religion, UCL
was also the first university to welcome female students
on equal terms with men. Academic excellence and
conducting research that addresses real-world problems
inform our ethos to this day.
The Bartlett School of Planning is one of the oldest and most

respected Schools of planning in the world. In 2014 we are
celebrating our centenary, and as we approach this historic
milestone, we are larger, more diverse, more active and in a
stronger position than ever before to address the planning
challenges of the future.
With 4,000 academic and research staff and

29,000 students, all members of the UCL community
are encouraged to be ambitious yet idealistic.
At UCL were proud of our pioneering history,

Our
wide-ranging expertise across

all fields of study provides opportunities for
groundbreaking interdisciplinary investigation.
Our location in Bloomsbury, in the heart of

central London one of the worlds most
dynamic and cosmopolitan cities has always
placed us at the forefront of policy-relevant
critical debate, empirical urban study, and
research-led teaching on the practices of
shaping space, cities and regions. Today
the very international and interdisciplinary
staff profile and student body are evidence
of the distinctive reputation UCL and The
Bartlett School of Planning have garnered
worldwide, and testament to our commitment
to excellence in planning-related education
and research.
Part of a large multi-disciplinary built
environment, the School is research-led, where
students are taught by staff from a diverse
range of academic backgrounds who are
actively engaged in shaping the theories and
debates covered in their teaching. The School
possesses a broad range of staff, with expertise
in planning, geography, design, sustainability,
economics, sociology, real estate, and politics,
and a healthy balance of experienced and
younger academics. Our research work makes
contributions to both the academic physical
and social sciences, and we ensure that our
outputs can be interpreted for both an
academic and practice audience. Members of
staff are committed to working in partnership
with policy and practice communities to
develop innovative ideas for implementation
in industry and government. We make links
between theory, policy and practice, relating
to planning and development in London,
throughout the UK, and through a range of
international collaborative links. The Schools
staff have a reputation for setting agendas
through their regular book publications and
other research outputs.
The Bartlett School of Planning offers a

unique hands-on learning environment for
students, involving interaction with some of
the leading urban planning academics and
practitioners, through close supervision,
creative project work, and teaching
innovation. These are the features that
distinguish the Schools teaching programmes
within the planning field internationally.
Through our professionally accredited
undergraduate, taught Masters and Doctoral
programmes, students learn in a creative and
highly stimulating environment about the
form, planning, design and management of
cities and about how to shape their future.
We continue to develop closer links to
external agencies and professions as part of
our knowledge, research and profiling work.
There has never been a more important time
for planning in the context of globalisation,
economic unevenness, social exclusion, global
warming, urban deterioration and increased
mobility, and the School is committed to
analysing and understanding the challenging
tasks that lie before us. We want to ensure
that our graduates are at the forefront of
these discussions and are able to offer ideas
and solutions that will serve a useful purpose
in emerging research, and professional and
governmental debates, in both the developed
and developing world.

Overview
The programme delivers an initial planning
education that enables people entering the

profession to think critically about space and
place as the basis for action or intervention.
The programme aims to provide a platform for
critical thinking that extends beyond regulatory
considerations, and instead embraces wider
social, economic, environmental and political
concerns, with a focus on interrelationships
and cultural identity. Place is seen as an arena
for a range of physical, social and economic
outcomes affecting the experiences of people
and communities.
MSc/PGDip
Spatial Planning
This professionally accredited postgraduate programme has been carefully designed
as a fast-track conversion course for graduates of any discipline who wish to make
a career in planning or in related fields. It aims to broaden students appreciation of
planning and urban theory whilst providing them with the necessary skills to engage in
critical and creative problem solving.
Structure/Content
Although situated as appropriate in their global

and European contexts, the focus for the course
is primarily the UK, and particularly London.
London is a complex setting that provides
the natural and most accessible laboratory
for BSP students.
An emphasis on understanding the social
and physical world will lead onto a greater
appreciation of how action or intervention shapes
place. But at the same time, there is a concern
with ethical issues as a framework for planned
intervention.

MSc/PGDip
The International Planning MSc is a one-year full-time professionally accredited planning
programme, which is accredited by the Royal Town Planning Institute (RTPI) and the
Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS). It is intended for students who want an
international perspective on planning systems and cultures, or are likely to work outside the
UK after their studies. It is open to graduates of any discipline who wish to make a career in
planning or related fields.
Overview
The MSc International Planning provides a
strong international and comparative focus on
planning and urban theory, and practice.
It aims to provide students with a broad range
of skills and knowledge in planning and urban
theory in a global context, while offering them
the opportunity to develop a specialisation.
It provides an initial education in planning,
with an international focus, and offers a mix
of lecture and seminar-based modules, project
work, site visits and the preparation
of a 10,000 words dissertation.
The programme will help the student
develop critical thinking, beyond regulatory
considerations, and embraces wider social,
economic, environmental and political
concerns.
More specifically, the MSc International
Planning will:
students a critical appreciation of the
commonalities and differences among a variety
of national planning approaches and systems
enhance
understanding of planning as a
culturally specific, context dependent activity
which takes different forms in different countries
and regions of the world
raise
awareness of the impacts of processes of

globalisation on planning
give
students the opportunity to study the

planning system, policies and practices of
a particular country in depth through an
International Planning Project and through
their individual dissertation.
The international scope of the MSc primarily

encompasses Europe, North America,
Australia, South Africa and the Far East,
and increasingly China and South-East
Asia. Less emphasis is put on the urban
development issues and planning systems of

MSc/PGDip
This is a masters programme with an innovative focus on urban design as a creative planning tool and the
interface between urban design and city planning. Students will gain a good understanding of the interface
between the two subjects, and as such develop the ability to think in critical, creative and analytical ways
across the different scales of the city, from strategic to local, and across urban design, planning, real
estate and sustainability arenas. This masters course builds upon a recognised long-term urban design
research specialisation of The Bartlett School of Planning. This is a unique urban design programme offering
a comprehensive understanding and exposure to both theory and practice across two closely related
disciplines that only together can address the full complexity of the 21st centurys greatest urban challenges.
Overview
Structure/Content
Field Course
This programme stresses the vital importance of

planning as a creative, positive and propositional
force for good, and of urban design as a
discipline within which the physical shaping of
places is accompanied by an equal concern
for their economic, social and environmental
well-being. More specifically it will equip those
wanting to work in the urban design, planning
and development sector in the UK, Europe
and internationally with the necessary skills,
knowledge and aptitudes to become creative,
problem-solving professionals, and, across
urban scales to address the complex urban
challenges of our age. It is designed for those
with an initial training in planning, architecture,
landscape architecture, real estate, or other allied
disciplines and who wish to expand of complete
their professional education. It is equally suited
to those with professional experience and those
with none.
The programme comprises the following

modules:
All students joining the Urban Design and City

Planning MSc will participate in one field trip.
In Term 2, there is a week-long field trip to a
European city outside the UK, for example
Copenhagen, Stockholm, Freiburg
or Amsterdam. The trips will cover a range
of urban design versus development and
sustainability themes, linking directly to the
Masters programme.
As well as a focus on the nature and purpose

of urban design and planning, this unique
programme exposes students to urban design
as both a direct (project-based) and indirect
(policy and guidance-based) discipline, to the
critical interfaces between urban design and real
estate and urban design and sustainability, to
project work across scales (strategic to local),
to theoretical debates and problematics, and
practical and professional design, planning and
graphics skills, and to the importance of research
within the planning / urban design field.

MSc/PGDip
This programme offers a unique opportunity for students to focus on real estate and property
development process and their relationship with planning systems. It explores market mechanisms
and urban planning from the standpoint of investors, developers, occupiers of buildings and policy
makers, and the relationship between markets and policy at various levels, equipping students with
an understanding of the variations in planning and real estate practices across national boundaries
and with the theoretical and practical apparatus to apply their knowledge internationally.
Overview
Structure/Content
Field Course
The programme aims to equip students with

theoretical and practical preparation to practice
across international boundaries in the fields of
planning and urban policy, real estate market
analysis and property development. It draws
students from a variety of professional and
academic backgrounds who wish to acquire
or develop their knowledge in those fields.
Students in past years include graduates and
professionals from urban planning, architecture,
economics, estate management, surveying,
sociology, political science, civil engineering,
business studies, law, management. Their
nationalities cover more than 20 countries from
all 5 continents. What unifies the diverse group
of people attending the course is their passion
for the topic of real estate and planning and their
keenness to engage with and affect real estate
practices and the development of cities.
We offer two different routes to the programme:

one year full-time or two years and up to 5 years
through accumulation of programme modules for
part-time students. Timetables for core courses
are arranged so that part-time students can
normally attend on one day per week during the
teaching terms, depending of the elective courses
chosen.
We are committed to combining rigorous

teaching with field experience of actual real
estate and planning projects. All students in the
programme participate in a field trip to mainland
Europe in mid-February. The field trip combines
talks from key local practitioners and academics
with visits to on-going projects, and students find
them a great educational and social experience.
Recent destinations include Brussels, Amsterdam,
Athens, Turin, Hamburg, Berlin and Madrid.
The programme covers both disciplines of real

estate and planning: real estate appraisal and
valuation, basic principles of real estate as
investment asset, the economic and institutional
structures of property development, the
relationship between real estate development
and planning and regulatory mechanisms at city
and project level and international variations in
that relationship. Elective courses allow students
to complement the core knowledge offered by
the programme to suit their individual interests.
Teaching is based on our in-depth academic
and professional understanding of the issues,
delivered in various formats (lectures, seminars,
project work, tutorials, workshops, field trips).

MSc
Urban Regeneration
The MSc in Urban Regeneration was created in response to a great challenge facing
Britain and the world: urban decline and the planned renaissance of our cities.
The challenge is greater than restoring and rebuilding the physical fabric.
We need to provide a new economic base to replace the one that has been lost,
to restore hope to communities that have been shattered, and to provide urban
citizens with a better chance in life.
Overview
Structure/Content
Field Courses
The MSc in Urban Regeneration combines

inputs from globally distinguished theorists and
practitioners to offer hands-on, multidisciplinary
education drawing on the best of UK and
international experience. Urban Regeneration
is a massive task that requires out of the box
thinking, intellectual rigour, collaboration and
contributions from disciplines like urban design,
urban planning, sociology, economics, finance
and management.
To graduate from the programme you will need to

take and pass 180 credits (120 for the Diploma).
More specifically, you will take six modules of
core studies (6x15=90 credits) and another 30
(2x15) credits of elective courses to develop your
own particular interests. You will also write a
dissertation (60 credits) supported by a research
training module (no credits). The table below
indicates the programme structure for each term.
The programme combines rigorous teaching with

field experience of actual regeneration projects.
As a student you can participate, free of charge,
in the field trip to mainland Europe (Term 2), the
Regeneration Away Day (Term 1) and in several
UK site visits. These activities combine talks from
key local stakeholders with visits to regeneration
projects and workshops dealing with actual
regeneration challenges. Students find them great
educational and social experiences. Recent field
trip destinations included Brussels, Amsterdam,
Athens, Turin, Hamburg, Berlin and Madrid.
The aim of the programme is to equip you with

three important qualities necessary if you, as
an urban professional, wish to engage with the
challenges of urban regeneration:
the
ability to understand and critically analyse

complex urban issues
the
boldness to address those issues in a

creative, strategic manner
the
confidence to propose appropriate and

realistic implementation plans
The programme draws students from a variety
of academic backgrounds: urban planning,
economics, architecture, sociology, anthropology,
political science, civil engineering, art studies,
history & the humanities, management as
well as professionals with design, property,
administrative, business, housing and community
experience. Past students have hailed from more
than twenty countries across all five continents.
This diversity will foster your ability to co-operate
and negotiate creatively with others. What unites
the diverse group of people attending the course
is their passion and enthusiasm to engage with
and affect the course of urban transformations.
Depending on which electives you choose you

can pursue:
(a) the RTPI stand-alone accreditation route.
You will need to take BENVGTC1 Planning
Practice and either BENVGPL5 Spatial
Planning: Concepts and Context or BENVGPL6
Comparative Planning Systems and Cultures as
electives.
(b) the liberal studies route. You can select
electives from a wide range of modules taught
throughout The Bartlett School of Planning, the
Faculty of the Built Environment, UCL and the
London Business School. Indicatively, these may
include modules on economic development,
the Global South, urban sociology, politics, the
environment, sustainability and management.
You are welcome to apply if you have a keen
interest in urban issues and would like to make
a difference for yourselves, your employers
and the communities you will engage with as
urban professionals. Other than UCLs standard
academic and English language requirements,
we attach significant importance to how you can
combine evidence in order to paint an accurate
picture of yourself in relation to your intended
programme of study.
(c) the specialisation route. You can choose a

specialism from those offered in The Bartlett
School of Planning such as sustainability, real
estate, housing, international planning, transport,
urban design etc.
It is important to demonstrate your capacity

to perform well in intellectually demanding
environments. Evidence to this could be
provided by a combination of a good academic
qualification, relevant professional experience,
your references, etc.
You can study on a one year for full-time basis,

or 2-5 years on a part-time basis. Individual
modules may also be taken as CPD elements.
Skills in languages other than English are an

advantage but are not essential.
In addition, the programme offers you the

opportunity to attend Seminars on making films
about the built environment (usually combined
with the field trip and/or the BENVGUR4 module)
and Professional Regeneration Workshops with
academic and professional partner organisations
in the UK and overseas.
Careers
After you graduate you could take jobs in a
wide variety of public, private and third sector
organisations in the UK and around the world,
dealing with urban planning and regeneration
issues: private consultancies, Local Authorities,
real estate firms, NGOs, Housing Associations
and local, regional or national agencies.

Housing Development
Shelter is one of the most basic human needs. But the provision of that shelter
i.e. the development of enough housing of the right type and quality, in the most
appropriate locations is a challenge that few, if any, governments in the developed
world have fully addressed. This MSc offers an inter-disciplinary perspective on
the housing question in advanced economies, based on a programme with core
contributions coming from The Bartlett Schools of Planning and Graduate Studies.
Overview
Structure/Content
Planning systems do not always direct new

housing to the right places; and the old
housing that societies inherit or even the new
housing that is being built is only very rarely
as good as it could be. The quality of housing
development needs to be judged against
several key benchmarks. It needs to be part
of the solution to the environmental challenges
that all societies face it must contribute to a
sustainable future; it needs to be delivered in a
way that contributes to achieving social justice
it must be accessible and affordable.
The Housing Development MSc brings together
these critical perspectives in three linked
streams, examining how planning policy and
practice contributes to the wider environment
for development; how housing development is
financed and managed; and how new housing
may have a lighter environmental footprint, and
older housing retrofitted to lessen its impact.
The programme develops core knowledge and
key skills within each of its streams.
The programme is directed at urban
professionals and graduates from the fields
of planning, property, architecture and project
management who are looking to specialise
in the area of housing development. The
opportunity is available to study full- time or
on a flexible/modular basis. Domestic and
international applications are encouraged.
The curriculum covers UK-specific policy and
practice as well as a range of international case
studies and globally-relevant debates in the
provision of housing.

to development projects by local experts,
drawn from academia, local government,
private enterprise or local politics.
The destination of the Housing Development
MSc field trip is to be confirmed.
We ask for a minimum of a second class
honours degree or equivalent (preferably 2.1
or higher, but 2.2 with appropriate experience
or equivalent will also be considered).
We also need a high level of competence in
both spoken and written English. Overseas
applicants whose first language is not English
will be asked to provide evidence of this.
A minimum overall score of 6.5 with a minimum
of 6.0 in each of the sub-tests for IELT S or 580
plus 4 for TWE in TOEFL is required. Applicants
may be requested to submit a writing sample.
Careers
Graduate students from The Bartlett have
been very successful in gaining subsequent
employment. At present there is a growing
demand for our Masters graduates from a wide
range of both public and private employers in
the UK and overseas. Many graduates have
taken up posts in local and central government
planning; others have moved into planning
related consultancies. Past students have
found employment in numerous specialist
sectors: in housing and transport; planning,
urban regeneration and environmental
agencies; public and private utility companies;
and also in teaching and research. As well
as preparing students for careers in planning
practice and housing delivery, all of our
programmes offer an introduction to research
and to key research skills. These skills are
developed and tested through completion
of a dissertation, which demonstrates the
graduates capacity for independent thinking
and working.

Mega Infrastructure Planning, Appraisal and Delivery
UCLs Mega Infrastructure Planning, Appraisal and Delivery MSc programme is unique in preparing
students for the major challenges ahead globally in the mega infrastructure field. By highlighting
new frameworks and methodologies that bring risk and uncertainty into the milieu of complex
decision-making for mega infrastructure development, extending to critical areas of governance,
politics, social and environmental development, finance and strategic planning, and how
sustainable development goals can/should be incorporated in future investment decisions the
programme offers a holistic approach to the field offering decision making and problem solving that
lead to more robust investment outcomes.
Attainment
Overview
The programme is inter-disciplinary and
international, drawing on numerous studies
undertaken in this field by the OMEGA Centre
and other leading research institutions, with the
aim of developing a critical understanding of mega
infrastructure theory and practice. It investigates
the fundamental question of what constitutes a
successful mega infrastructure project, programme
and/or plan in light of the fast-changing
expectations that different stakeholders have
of such investments.
The MSc recognises that judgments about project
success need to be examined against different
contexts. With this is mind, the programme aims
to arm students with insights, knowledge and skills
that will assist them to better plan, appraise and
deliver future mega infrastructure developments
in a manner that is sensitive to the risks,
uncertainties and complexities of different
contexts, whether temporal, cultural or physical.
The core learning outcomes of the course include:
Acquisition
of understanding of the fundamental

characteristics of mega projects, plans and
programmes
Appreciation
of challenges and trends in theories

and practice of mega infrastructure planning,
appraisal and delivery.
Understanding
of the contribution that such

initiatives make to environmental, social, economic
and institutional objectives at local, national and
global scales.
Appreciation
of the policies, legislative frameworks

and market contexts that surround mega
infrastructure development.
Appreciation
of the diversity of stakeholders

agendas and of interrelationships and tensions
between local and national interests.
Enhanced
understanding of the critical issues

concerning sustainable infrastructure investment
at all scales.
of generic skills of strategic planning

and risk management distilled from other
disciplines where risk, uncertainty and complexity
are at the heart of their planning.
Grounding
in traditional infrastructure planning

and appraisal methods and techniques including:
Financial, Economic and Social Cost Benefit
Analysis (CBA), Environmental Impact Assessment
(EIA), and Social Impact Assessment (SIA).
Introduction
to innovative methods and

techniques for infrastructure planning, appraisal

MSc/PGDip
The MSc in Sustainable Urbanism has been designed to bring together urban sustainability theory,
policy and design in a ground-breaking programme which is not offered anywhere else in the UK.
It targets those interested in a career in built environment related professions with a focus on urban
sustainability/ sustainable development within a multidisciplinary approach. The programme has an
international makeup and welcomes applications from a range of both science and social-science
backgrounds including economics, business, property, planning, architecture, design, engineering,
sociology, anthropology, political studies etc.
Overview
Structure/Content
The MSc in Sustainable Urbanism MSc brings

together three critical dimensions of sustainable
urbanism:
Sustainable
Thinking: The latest thinking and

debates on sustainability, from policy, research
and practice perspectives;
Sustainable
places: The study of what this

actually means on the ground through the
creation of real projects and places;
Delivering
sustainability: A focus on the skills

and knowledge required to actually deliver
sustainable development.
The programme seeks to impart the necessary

skills and knowledge to enable graduates
to engage as team leaders but also as team
members in the types of large and complex
sustainable urban projects that are increasingly
being planned across the world. As such, it aims
to help fill a major and increasingly obvious skills
gap. Graduates will also be equipped to engage
in research, policy and regulatory activities
relating to the field.
Field Course
The diagram below shows the structure of the

one-year full-time programme. The programme
can also be taken part-time, usually over two
years, and flexibly over two to five years.
All modules are compulsory with the exception
of the 30 credits of elective free choice (Elective
A and B), which are a free choice of modules as
selected by the student (subject to approval by

MSc/PGDip
Transport and City Planning
The MSC in Transport and City Planning provides a social science-based
perspective on transport planning, drawing on the latest thinking and debates
in transport, urban planning and mega infrastructure project development, as
part of the development of the sustainable city.
Overview
Structure/Content
The MSc in Transport and City Planning (TCP)

provides a ground-breaking, critical and social
science-based perspective on transport
planning. The programme examines the urban
and international context, considering the
development of transport planning, in theory and
practice. The focus spatially is at the city scale
recognising that more than half of humankind
lives in urban areas and that the city is often
where progressive policy-making occurs.
The programme draws on the latest thinking
and debates in transport and urban planning,
providing an inter-disciplinary consideration of
transport planning as part of the development
of the sustainable city. Transport is often seen
as the maker and breaker of cities, yet few, if
any, governments in the Global North and Global
South have managed to develop transport
systems that consistently support attractive city
living, both in the urban core and at the suburban
edge. The quality of transport systems needs to
be judged against several benchmarks as part
of the solution to climate change and the wider
environmental challenges that society faces; as a
catalyst to the economy and city competitiveness,
as a contributor to well-being and quality of life;
and delivered in a way that contributes to social
justice. These are huge challenges for our future
transport and city planners and require new
approaches in transport and urban planning.
The aim of the MSc is to equip students to
work effectively as transport and planning
practitioners, moving beyond the disciplinary
silos usually found in academia and practice.
A key feature of the MSc is its integrative design
across disciplines, developing a range of different
theories and perspectives, with modules linked by
common principles. There are three core themes:
(1) urban transport planning, (2) sustainable cities
and (3) investing in mega projects.
The MSc is taken as a one-year full-time or twoto five-year modular/flexible programme. It offers
a theory and practice-driven approach which
gives students both a conceptual understanding
and the skills needed to tackle practical problems,
covering the stages of strategy development,
analysis and implementation, complex decisionmaking and project management, and the role
of transport in place-making. There are close
linkages and shared modules with two other
Bartlett School of Planning (BSP) courses: the
MSc in Sustainable Urbanism and MSc in Mega
Infrastructure Planning, Appraisal and Delivery.
Core themes are as below:
Urban Transport Planning: examines the role
and nature of transport planning as part of the
delivery of sustainable cities internationally. The
context and rationale for transport is explored.
Modules: (1) BENVGTP1 Transport Planning
and the City; and (2) BENVGTP2 Transport
Planning in Emerging Cities.
Sustainable Cities: introduces some of the key
sustainability debates and literature, developing
an understanding of the tensions and synergies
between environmental, social and economic
objectives. Modules: (1) BENVGTC5 Sustainable
Urban Development: Key Themes; and (2)
BENVGTC7 Sustainable Urban Development
Group Project.
Investing in Mega Projects: provides a critical
review of mega infrastructure theory, decisionmaking and international practice. Modules: (1)
BENVGMP1 Mega Infrastructures as Agents of
Change; and (2) BENVGMP4 Critical Issues in
Mega Infrastructure Investments.
Beyond these core studies, students take 30
more credits (two 15 credit modules) from related
areas across the Faculty, such as GIS, data
analysis and visualisation via the Centre
for Advanced Spatial Analysis (CASA); urban

planning with The Bartlett School of Planning
(BSP); international planning and development
with the Development Planning Unit (DPU); and
quantitative analysis and modelling with the UCL
Centre for Transport Studies (CTS); or indeed
wider electives from other departments at UCL
(subject to approval by the Course Director).
Field trip
An international field trip of 4-5 days is
arranged to selected best practice case study
developments in continental Europe. This
enables students to explore the way that different
contexts including cultural, political and
institutional issues frame and deliver transport
and city planning. This years trip is to Freiburg,
Tbingen and Stuttgart. The field trip is informed
by talks from key experts. There are separate
local study trips around London and Oxford or
Cambridge, including talks with local experts and
the city authorities.
or upper second class honours degree or other
qualification of equivalent standard, in Urban
Planning, Geography, Engineering, Transport
Planning, or related disciplines; and/or related

MRes
Inter-disciplinary Urban Design
The MRes Inter-disciplinary Urban Design (IdUD) is a Faculty-wide one-year research
degree through which students are able to tap into perhaps the largest concentration
of urban design related researchers and professional expertise found anywhere in
the world. The programme is designed to allow students to tailor their own learning
to their background and future aspirations through an unrivalled choice of feeder
courses combined with a major piece of individual research.
Overview
Structure/Content
The MRes Inter-disciplinary Urban Design

(IdUD) is a cross-Faculty programme that cuts
across the existing post-graduate urban design,
urbanism and related programmes from all parts
of The Bartlett, and beyond, including from The
Bartlett Schools of Architecture, Planning, and
Graduate Studies, the Development Planning
Unit, from the Department of Geography (Urban
Studies) and from the UCL Centre for Transport
Studies. It allows students to construct their
study in an Inter-disciplinary manner and in so
doing to explore urban design as a critical arena
for advanced research and practice.
This globally unique programme aims to:

1 Provide an Inter-disciplinary space in which
students can examine the challenges of urban
design from comparative disciplinary perspectives
2 Expose students to the diversity of urban design
teaching and the latest cutting edge research
from across The Bartlett and beyond
3 Provide the opportunity for students to conduct
a substantial piece of individual urban design
research that draws on diverse Inter-disciplinary
knowledge
4 Train students in the use of research
methodologies appropriate to the conduct of
urban scale research and critically informed urban
design practice.
The programme has a simple and highly flexible

structure. The MRes IdUD consists of three
modules amounting to 180 credits.

Inter-disciplinary urban design

This module draws from a range of named
feeder courses, each of which explores the
broad territory of urban design from a different
perspective. This black box of elements is
given shape by students themselves who select
components according to their own academic
backgrounds and professional experiences so
as to further develop their knowledge, skills
and aptitudes. Feeder courses include

Field Courses
The programme includes an international fieldtrip
and a weekend retreat.
Applicants to the programme will be expected
to have a good 2:1 undergraduate degree (or its
international equivalent) in a cognate discipline or
a relevant masters degree. The English language
minimum for this programme is an overall IELTS
grade of 6.5 with a minimum of 6.0 in each
subtest.
Careers
With its emphasis on the power of urban
design, its belief in inter-disciplinarity, and its
use of questioning research methodologies,
the programme opens up a range of future
opportunities for participants along
two primary paths:
It
provides an opportunity for students seeking

to further their professional careers, to specialise
in urban design, and, even within that broad
arena, to engage deeply within a particular
research agenda of direct relevance to their
future professional practice. In this regard
the programme emphasises and imparts an
analytical and questioning approach to the
professional discipline and to its urban
problems that will allow participants to
become more incisive and penetrating
in their own professional work.
Second,
for students seeking a research or

academic career, the MRes provides the ideal
training for a PhD and eventually for a move
to an academic or other research position. In
this regard the MRes can help to both define
an appropriate study at PhD level whilst also
streaming the conduct of a PhD itself, through
imparting advanced research methods training
and, through the preparation of the Urban
design research project, providing a direct
feed into a future PhD.
The programme is founded on the belief that in

urban design a research perspective provides
a critical dimension of advanced professional
practice whilst better practice is the worthy
ultimate goal of good urban research.

Applying and fees

Before applying, prospective applicants
are encouraged to contact the relevant
programmes admissions tutor for further
information on the programmes structure,
content and entry requirements. Applications
for all Bartlett School of Planning Masters
degree courses should be made online at:
www.ucl.ac.uk/prospective-students/
graduate/apply/taught/how-to-apply
Generally, applications are considered and
decisions on offers of admission are arrived
at in the order that applications are received.
Therefore, applicants are advised to apply
earlier rather than later, as once offers of
admission have been issued for all the places
available on the course; it is normally no
longer possible to issue any further offers.
The UCL admissions procedure normally
takes anywhere between four and twelve
weeks. UCL closes its admissions system in
early August each year so that all applications
received can be processed, and offers made
where appropriate, before the beginning
of the next academic year. The deadlines
for applications for most programmes for
September 2014 entry is 1 August 2014,
however applicants are advised to check the
deadline for the programme of interest online
at: www.ucl.ac.uk/prospective-students/
graduate/apply/taught/deadlines
Scholarships and prizes

If you have not yet met the academic or
English language proficiency requirements
then you can still apply. But if you are made
an offer of a place, then it will be conditional
on you meeting these requirements before the
start of the academic year.
If you require a visa to study in the UK,
documentation to assist in your visa
application cannot be produced until an
unconditional offer of admission is made. A
conditional offer will delay your Tier 4 visa
application, so you should try and obtain your
English certification and provide evidence of
meeting any academic condition as early as
possible. International applicants who require
a Tier 4 visa to study in the UK should also
take into account that, as well as the time
required to complete the UCL admissions
procedure, obtaining entry clearance to the
UK takes an additional amount of time.
Therefore if you require a Tier 4 visa you are
strongly advised to make your application to
study at UCL before 15th June in the year in
which you wish to study.
The fees for each programme differ according
to whether the applicant is a UK/EU or
Overseas student and whether the programme
is being studied on a full-time or modular/
flexible (part-time) basis. The fees applicable
for each programme are available by visiting:
