The Spatial Planning Degree Apprenticeship MSc combines the educational elements of UCL’s existing Spatial Planning MSc with supported workplace learning and practical experience meeting the requirements of the RTPI’s Chartered Town Planning Apprenticeship standard. Successful completion of the apprenticeship will give you a Spatial Planning MSc and the status of being a Chartered Town Planner (MRTPI) having gained practical experience in the workplace.

Students analyse the definition of, and solutions to, urban and regional planning problems and the nature of existing planning systems and practices in the United Kingdom. We focus on the British tradition of planning in the programme. Emphasis is placed on the importance of a spatial and comparative perspective to planning and the need for integrated solutions to planning problems and the achievement of sustainable development.

Students undertake modules to the value of 180 credits.

The apprenticeship comprises 120 credits of assessed taught modules, 60 credits of dissertation and one non-assessed module providing a framework for the workplace learning. Taught modules are delivered part-time over two years, leading to the MSc qualification, then workplace learning continues for the third year  to complete the end point assessment and become a chartered town planner.

Upon successful completion of 180 credits, you will be awarded a MSc in Spatial Planning Degree Apprenticeship.
