Property development and planning is fundamental to the growth of the property industry – from scheme proposal, site identification and analysis, through to design, viability, finance and marketing. Our course has been developed to enable you to focus on adding value to land and property, as an adviser, consultant or developer of the future.

You'll gain a comprehensive understanding of areas including spatial and urban design, site appraisal, sustainability, planning and development consultancy and management of the development process. Alongside more more specialist and technical knowledge you'll focus on business planning, client care and negotiation and develop the core surveying competencies required in industry.
