Taster lecture: Transforming Cities

The pandemic has changed how many people live and work.

Our researchers discuss how this offers an opportunity for our cities to be reinvented.

Providing high-quality education

How you will learn

We know the last few months have been challenging and uncertain for us all.

Whatever happens next, you can rest assured that we'll adjust to any changes to public health guidelines while still providing a high-quality learning environment.

Details of how teaching may change can be found below.

Lectures are usually delivered to your whole cohort in person, on campus, and supported by seminars, group work, and online activities to consolidate your learning.

Currently, all lectures are delivered online, usually live but occasionally pre-recorded, with supporting activities delivered online through our online learning environment.

Seminars are smaller group sessions led by a member of staff, which give you the opportunity to discuss topics covered in your lectures in depth.

Currently, seminars are online and you can contribute to discussions through your computer audio or by using comment or chat functions.

Practical studio-based design work is an important part of the teaching process.

We are currently offering a blend of online and in-person teaching so students are on campus working safely in our studios and workshops as and when required for their projects.

Field courses and study visits are usually offered in Manchester and in an international location such as Portugal.

While we hope that visits and field courses will run as usual from September 2021, we are currently ensuring learning outcomes are met through specially designed virtual field courses.

Planning and real estate careers

Your degree could take you into a variety of jobs.

Our strong professional links with planners and urban development professionals mean you can benefit from networking events, placements and client–based studies to explore careers options and enhance your employability.
