These qualities have allowed some of our graduates to obtain rewarding jobs in careers other than planning such as business management, retailing, computing and tourism.
Further study is available by taking one of our postgraduate Masters programmes specialising in aspects of the built environment.
teaching and assessment
The University’s flexible MA structure means that for your first two years you can combine town and regional planning with other subjects that interest you, such as geography, economics and environmental science. We also offer Joint MA degrees with geography and economics.
You will be encouraged to learn in a variety of ways: through lectures, small group tutorials, practical projects, group exercises, site visits, self directed study and ‘MyDundee’, the University’s virtual learning environment.
Coursework is particularly important in developing the range of skills needed by planners, and we try and make the exercises as close to the real world as possible. For example, Level 3 students compete for the annual Dundee Civic Award, a prize sponsored by Dundee City Council for a project on a topical local theme.
We frequently welcome contributions from our graduates and other planning practitioners to enrich the student experience and make it relevant to topical concerns. Planning students at Dundee also benefit from close links with geography, environmental science and architecture within the University.
