The Bartlett School of Planning will offer a new undergraduate programme from September 2012: the BSc in Planning and Real Estate. 

The programme will deliver the educational philosophy of the Bartlett School of Planning through innovative learning strategies.  It will draw from a broad range of relevant theories, methodologies, skills and techniques taken from both the social science and design disciplines and apply these to critical challenges within the field of real estate development. 

The new BSc will explore the interface between urban planning and property development, with modules dealing with critical Economic Concepts, Property and Planning Law, Valuation, and Finance and Investment Appraisal. The range of modules will enable students to develop their capacity for creative thinking and problem-solving whilst fostering independent, critical analysis of planning theory and practice.

With the addition of the new BSc Planning and Real Estate our undergraduate offer expands to three BSc programmes which share three streams of courses, integrating theory with practice. The 'Urban Laboratory' stream emphasises the importance of hands-on project work that provides students with an opportunity to put into practice knowledge gained in the other streams, through design, regeneration and local or strategic planning-related project work. The 'Understanding Urban Change' and 'Managing Urban Change' streams focus respectively on the theory of changing cities and on their management and planning, covering also the practice-based activities associated with professional life.

Details of the new BSc in Planning and Real Estate, as well as our existing undergraduate programmes, the BSc in Urband Planning, Design and Development and the BSc in Urban Studies can be found on our undergraduate programmes page.

Our undergraduate programmes deliver an academic and vocational education which:
- provides student with a coherent understanding of urbanism and the built environment;
- enables them to combine a sound theoretical foundation with a strong awareness of urban design and/or real estate, urban management and planning practice; and
- imparts a critical understanding of the various roles and responsibilities of urban professionals.
