Program details

Overview

The MPhil in Planning is a research degree offered by the natural and built environment school. Research is grounded in spatial planning, with empirical work rooted in the region but connected to international, interdisciplinary and theoretical perspectives. The academic team has a strong record in publications, research grants and doctoral supervision, and it works to connect research with teaching. The team holds an international reputation and attracts major research funding linked to its main areas. The discipline keeps its approach current as professional standards and policy contexts change. A team of supervisors guides each candidate, and study can be full-time or part-time. The programme suits those interested in spatial planning theory, applied research and the policy questions that shape places.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: The minimum academic requirement for admission to a research degree programme is normally an Upper Second Class Honours degree from a UK or ROI HE provider, or an equivalent qualification acceptable to the University.
