BSc (Hons) Urban Design & Planning University for the Creative Arts

Program Description

Discover the role and social impact of the urban planner and designer, and learn the advanced skills to become one, on our new BSc (Hons) Urban Design & Planning degree course at UCA Canterbury. On this course, you’ll learn spatial practices, and the value that an Urban Designer can add to projects and the wider community. You’ll use Canterbury and the wider Kent landscape as a canvas from which to work, researching, designing, and examining the impact that your designs and plans would have upon it. On campus, you’ll be able to take advantage of our extensive facilities, including forms of fabrication and testing, the latest scanning and VR technology, and a suite of traditional craft-based workshops, all of which will allow you to bring your design proposals to life. To broaden your horizons, you’ll be guided by our team of academics and experience collaborative opportunities with students from across the university. You’ll also have the freedom to establish your own unique specialisms, such as advanced retrofit-based knowledge, while developing your own highly individualised design identity and style.
