Our MSc Property Development and Planning course equips you to get the best out of the town and country planning system from a developer’s perspective. The course prepares you to oversee and manage the process of property development, from site identification and analysis, to planning, design, viability, marketing and finance, leading to the delivery of a development scheme.

Through applied projects, site visits and visiting industry experts, you’ll gain an understanding of construction, development processes in practice, real estate economics, valuation, appraisal, heritage and conservation and law applied to surveyors.
