This whole-year module is designed to help you move into the world of planning practice through the engagement of practitioners in delivering the module, both as a client and in providing insights and advice concerning the range of opportunities for embarking on a career in planning. The module can be divided into two parts with a client-based project in semester one and a series of interactive lectures largely with guest lectures related to contemporary planning practice. The module is assessed by means of a group project, individual portfolio and an open-book exam.
