Career opportunities

There is a projected shortage of planners so there will be a range of opportunities in the public, private and voluntary sectors.

You could choose a career in an area linked to the environment such as housing, tourism, economic development, regeneration, and environmental protection. You could also go into research and teaching.

Many of our students progress to become professional members of the Royal Town Planning Institute (RTPI). The quickest route for this requires further study, such as our MSc Planning Major Projects,followed by a programme of work experience under the RTPI’s Assessment of Professional Competence. You can then become a Chartered Planner and use the letters ‘MRTPI’ after your name.

You can also achieve chartered membership by undertaking a longer period of work experience that will require you to work to becoming an Associate and then a Chartered member of the institute.

Past students have gone on to work for local authorities, planning research centres and private sector companies including Turley Associates, Terence O’Rourke, Crest Nicholson, Persimmon and Savills.
