This University of Liverpool degree programme gives students a full understanding of the primary environmental challenges of the 21st century and provides them with the skills base to help address them.

Students will gain a rounded understanding of the factors and forces that are shaping the environment and the role that planning can play in reconciling competing and conflicting interests. Attention is focused on approaches to the protection and enhancement of natural and built environments 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. This programme provides accreditation from the Institute of Environmental Management and Assessment (IEMA).

Year Three provides students with more focused study of their specialism in order to gain greater knowledge and expertise of environmental planning. Students are required to take four modules associated with their specialism, made up of two core modules and two optional modules. Students then choose a further four modules from a range of other optional modules. This could include a dissertation where students undertake a piece of independent research and international field class offering the opportunity to explore planning in a new context.
