You'll develop a broad overview of how our towns, cities and regions have developed and have an opportunity to specialise in environmental or urban regeneration issues.
With a pioneering approach to planning and regeneration, Liverpool is an ideal location in which to study town and regional planning. Over the past 30 years, Liverpool has been transformed economically, socially and environment. Staff and students from Planning at the University of Liverpool have been part of these changes as they have been observing, reflecting and helping local planners, developers and communities to shape these changes. This makes Liverpool an ideal urban laboratory to study how our world is changing.
Attention is focused on approaches to planning for the urban environment in a rapidly changing world. An interdisciplinary approach to study provides learning opportunities that draw upon the expertise of academics in Planning as well as academics in the Departments of Geography, Sociology and Architecture.
Discover what you'll learn, what you'll study, and how you'll be taught and assessed.
In year three, you begin to develop your specialism in Transforming cities and regions through the compulsory module Cities and regions (ENVS230). This module introduces you to the economic, social and environmental causes of urban and regional change. Environmental sustainability and its connections with patterns of human development are also examined in further core modules.
You also continue to develop critical thinking and communication skills to enable you to analyse material and communicate ideas effectively. Project work also enables you to develop an awareness of the methodological and spatial design issues that arise in the development of planning schemes.
Please note, the residential field class undertaken in year two is part of the module Rural planning field class (ENVS289) and takes you into the field to examine environmental, social and economic issues in a rural setting.
On the 2+2 programme, you'll study your third and fourth years at the University of Liverpool. These will be year two and year three of the University of Liverpool's programme of study.

Year three provides you with a more focused study of your specialism in order to gain greater knowledge and expertise in urban planning.
You are required to take two core modules, one dissertation module (ENVS302 or ENVS346) and two optional specialism modules. You can then choose a further two or three modules, depending on your dissertation module, from a range of optional modules, which could include an international field class offering the opportunity to explore planning in a new context.
