The aim of this module is for the student to explore and reflect on the academic, professional and personal skills required for their learning development and future employability.

The aim of this module is to provide the student with a foundation of law and economics as they impact the built environment. The principles of English public and private law and economic theory will be introduced including: tort, contract, planning, supply and demand, elasticity, market structures and the macroeconomy.

The aim of this module is for the student to be introduced to collaborative practices and project roles in the built environment profession, and to understand the processes involved in producing the built environment and to recognise the skills required of a manager in the planning sector in a broader development context.

An important part of the learning will be to develop a student's own self-reflection to aid in taking ownership of their own professional and academic development. The module is intended to foster in students a drive for continuing professional development and self-reflection of their own values and judgement.

The aim of this module is to provide students with the skills to communicate design intentions and analytical skills to explore, visualise and analyse the cityscape.

The aim of this module is to introduce students to:

• the challenges facing urban planning in society; the institutional structures, policies, practices and processes governing planning in the UK;
• and the broader societal factors influencing how this regime has evolved.

The aim of this module is to enable students to acquire a broad knowledge of the main theoretical ideas and principles underpinning urban planning since the late nineteenth century as a reflection of social, economic, and political influences and developments. The module will also begin to explore the fundamentals of urban planning in the mediation of space and the creation of place.

The aim of this module is to enable the student to develop essential knowledge and understanding in the fundamentals of accounting, financial and risk management, and use them to support management decisions at project and company level in construction.

The aim of this module is to enable students to translate aspects of economic theory into urban contexts. The module will cover prominent challenges facing society such as the provision of public goods and the supply of housing. In addition, students will consider the appraisal of property development and the impact of policies to address urban challenges.

The aim of this module it to introduce students to the fundamentals of conducting an original and rigorous research project from project proposal through to data collection, analysis and reporting. In addition, students will study the skills necessary to operate in digital environments.

The aim of this module is for the student to understand environmental issues related to urban planning and how planning can be used as a tool to manage and mitigate these issues. In addition, the module also aims to introduce students to collaborative practices and professional perspectives in solving project planning and construction risk for the built environment and to allow students to work in cross disciplinary teams to plan and deliver a project.

The aim of this module is to introduce key processes, practices and principles of place-making. During this process students will develop an enhanced appreciation of the structure of the public realm and adopt a people-centred approach to the design of space. Students will also develop critical appraisal of design alternatives with respect of key factors such as socio-economic activities, design aesthetic and the environmental setting.

The module will introduce the use of GIS and remote sensing systems as a means of addressing geographical questions through the use of digital geospatial data. Students will explore a variety of primary and secondary data acquisition methods including satellite-based remote sensing and the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS).

They will engage in the organisation, manipulation, analysis and presentation of spatial data using GIS. Students will be able to use knowledge and skills from this module in practical project work. Examples will be drawn from both physical and human geography in the context of land use change and urban environments. Focus will be given to the development of those key and transferable hands-on skills of particular interest to graduate employers.

The aim of this module will be to explore the relationship between planning theory, urban theory and practice and to debate and critique competing perspectives and thoughts on the role of planning interventions. The students are expected to design intellectually robust and substantiated planning interventions.

The aims of this module are to:

• identify and understand a broad range of challenges facing urban environments in different contexts including their drivers, threats and opportunities,
• understand how planning interventions (design and policy) can positively address social, environmental and economic issues within the built environment, and
• explore diverse international examples and how contemporary planning issues are affected by their context.

The aim of this module is for the student to understand planning policy and how it inter-relates with people in the context of UK and global contexts. In addition, the module will consider how policy is developed within a political system and the role of community engagement and stakeholder consultation.

The aim of the module is to introduce students to the concept of urban mobility, which is a complex system of systems that is evolving at a faster pace than any time in the past decade. The module provides comprehensive coverage of all of the major factors that underpin our understanding of urban mobility, including its planning, management, monitoring, and appraisal.

The aim of this module is for the student to gain experience in the process and methodology of research by defining and studying (on an individual basis) a problem in a specific area relating to their degree.

The aim of this module is to provide the student with an opportunity to develop and deepen their knowledge of, and connections between: management theories, practice and competencies.

The module is a unique combination of developing and deepening students understanding of their own management competencies, theoretical grasp of theory (leadership, teamwork, motivation, power and communication) and a fantastic opportunity to engage in experiential learning over three very challenging, problem solving days within an outdoor environment. Developing and then combining knowledge of management competencies, theory and practice with the opportunity to experience and self-reflect upon their connections is unique within this module.
