Urban Planning is the understanding of the place-making processes that underpin places, society and the environment. It's also interdisciplinary, with professionals having an understanding of a range of topics. You'll gain an understanding of the fundamentals required for a successful career in planning or the wider built environment professions.


The Urban Planning master's is fully accredited by the Royal Town Planning Institute (RTPI). The Development pathway is accredited by the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) and offers a RICS-accredited route to gain Chartered Surveyors status.


The course is suitable if:

  • you are new to studying planning
  • you have studied planning before but in a different regulatory context


Leading planning academics teach our modules. They are members of planning teaching staff in the School of Architecture, Planning and Landscape. Their world-leading research informs the teaching programme.

We teach the course on our Newcastle campus. You can study full-time over 12 months or part-time over two years.

Part-time study consists of the same modules and options as the full-time programme.

This Master's in Urban Planning has five specialist pathways. Choose a pathway to suit your individual needs, background and career aspirations.

This is a social theory degree with no design content. If you're interested in a design degree, please see our Urban Design MA, PGDip.
