Independent Study is supervised by an urban planning or other MSD member of staff. It enables students to research a topic of particular relevance to their intellectual and career interests and which is not available in subjects taught within the Faculty. Permission to undertake this study is conditional on a supervisor willing to supervise the research.

Intended learning outcomes

The proposed subject arises from the increasing diversity of roles and specialisations of planners.



  • The objective of the elective is to enable the student to develop her/his expertise, both in respect of theoretical understanding and career interests, in areas that fall outside current conceptions of planning embodied in core subjects and electives.

Generic skills

The student will develop research and writing skills.
