RTPI backs new Ulster degree course

Michael Donnelly, PlanningResource, 20 August 2008

The RTPI has awarded Provisional Accreditation to a new four-year degree programme at the University of Ulster's School of the Built Environment.

The news came following a visit to the University by RTPI representatives, at which it was also announced that the School had also been awarded the status of an accredited Planning School by the RTPI.

According to head of school professor Greg Lloyd, the new degree is the first of its kind in Ireland, and offers a strong focus on the complementary elements of the planning and property development disciplines.

The course also brings together the property, legal and economic aspects with the finance-based culture of property development and a creative urban design and spatial planning culture.

"The new programme is designed to meet the needs of those aspiring to become chartered surveyors and/or chartered town planners concerned with securing the public interest in land and property development.

“By integrating these conceptual and practical aspects across four academic years students have the added benefit of graduating with a Master of Science (MSc) in Planning and Property Development, " said professor Lloyd.
