I've done a site analysis project in one of my courses. We had to plan a site visit to a dam and produce an analysis of it and provide ways to improve it.
It was amazing as it enabled us to come up with creative but practical ideas to solve the problem. I found it challenging, yet also fun and interesting!
Kai Ho / BSc Planning and Real Estate student
BSc Planning and Real Estate with Professional Placement is a four-year degree, which will provide you with the core academic and professional training in planning and real estate.
You will consider the issues faced by professionals in dealing with the planning, development and management of all aspects of our built and natural environments.
Effective planning, development and management of our towns, cities and countryside is crucial in an age when governments and societies all over the world are struggling to deliver sustainable development.
Big data, real estate finance, spatial analysis, policy formation, environmental sustainability and public engagement are all key to this process and form the core principles of the programme.
Understanding and engaging with the problems facing the communities and places in which we live, work and play is at the heart of what we do in the department of Planning and Environmental Management at The University of Manchester. The course is ideal if you:
The curriculum of Years 1, 2 and 4 will consider the issues faced by professionals in dealing with the planning, development and management of all aspects of our built and natural environments.
Each year will offer increased opportunities to specialise in aspects of planning and real estate policy, management and evaluation.
In the third year of study, you will normally embark on a paid work placement with an organisation engaged with planning, environment, urban design and/or real estate to apply the conceptual, digital and communication skills you practice.
BSc Planning and Real Estate is accredited by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS), as well as a spatial qualification by the Royal Town Planning Institute (RTPI).
To acquire full accreditation by the RTPI, you must also complete a specialist qualification, which can be achieved by transferring onto our four-year integrated master's course (five-years with professional placement).
Manchester is a great place to study planning and real estate.
It is a major UK city undergoing rapid urban change, which provides an ideal base for exploring urban development pressures and how these shape economic, social and environmental futures.
The changes to the city mean that understanding how we finance and manage investment, and what this means for further development are critical factors in effective growth.
The city is also ideally placed for you to learn about a wide variety of rural environments which have interesting implications for planning and real estate markets, including three spectacular National Parks, areas of intensive farming and impressive coastlines.
We combine traditional lecture-based teaching with tutorials, seminars and workshop sessions.
Practical subjects, such as Geographical Information Systems (GIS), Photoshop and SketchUp - as well as general computer skills - are taught in university computer suites.
This work is accompanied by group work and the occasional lecture session, giving you an overall hands-on learning experience.
Project-based learning, incorporating studio-based design work, field research and study visits are integral to our MPRE course.
These projects provide an excellent opportunity for you to integrate your knowledge and skills and apply them to real situations - exposing you to professional practice.
Important notice
The School of Environment, Education and Development (SEED) recognises the value of fieldwork. However, the safety and wellbeing of our students and staff remains our priority. The School will assess on a regular basis the viability of any travel and fieldwork and communicate any significant changes to our students at the earliest possible opportunity.
The ability of fieldwork and travel to proceed, and whether any changes to proposed fieldwork and travel might be necessary, will remain subject to factors such as the:
All fieldwork and travel will be subject to a rigorous risk assessment process and the implementation of any protective measures identified by the risk assessment to ensure the health and safety of all our students and staff.
In some circumstances, it may become necessary to make changes to fieldwork or programme related travel. The University will notify you of those changes at the earliest opportunity. If any fieldwork does not go ahead as planned, then the School's focus will be on seeking to offer a suitable alternative and ensure that the Intended Learning Outcomes (ILOs) of the programme are met.
Please note that Countries may change their immigration and visa regulations at short notice. The School cannot guarantee that where visas are required for fieldwork, they will be granted but we will take steps so that if a visa is refused, affected students are not academically disadvantaged.
Bachelor of Science (BSc)
If you are studying A-levels or the International Baccalaureate (IB) then you can apply for ‘direct entry’ to the first year of a bachelor’s degree. Please note that only A-levels or IB will be considered for admission to Medicine or Dentistry.
Due to differences in the Jordan and UK education systems, applicants who have taken the Thanaweyyah A’ama (or Tawjihi, secondary school certificate) are required to complete a University-recognised foundation programme before joining an undergraduate course:
Students who have achieved an overall Thanaweyyah A’ama (or Tawjihi, secondary school certificate) grade of 90% or higher with a minimum of 90% in Mathematics and Physics would be considered for the University’s Science and Engineering with an integrated foundation year programme, Applications for the University’s Biosciences with a foundation year programme will be considered following completion of the Thanaweyyah A’ama (or Tawjihi, secondary school certificate) on a case by case basis.
Students who have achieved an overall Thanaweyyah A’ama (or Tawjihi, secondary school certificate) grade of 85% or higher would be considered for the foundation programmes (Engineering and Science, Humanities and Social Sciences (including Management and Law), Biosciences, Pharmacy and Psychology) run in partnership with the University by INTO Manchester. Subject-specific requirements may apply.
Diplomas from technical colleges may be considered for foundation or first year entry on a case-by-case basis.
The UK Visa and Immigration Authority (UKVI) requires that every student requiring a visa to study in the UK must show evidence of a minimum level of English language (Common European Framework (CEFR) B2 level) in order to be granted a Student Route visa (previously known as a Tier 4 visa) to study at undergraduate or postgraduate level.
In addition, our academic Schools may require applicants to demonstrate English proficiency above B2 level, as the academic content of a UK degree can be linguistically demanding. Academic English entry requirements vary by course, and can be found on individual course profiles.
