Course summary
Urban planners collaborate with a wide range of interest groups to positively influence outcomes in the development of cities and the countryside. These include politicians, communities, property developers, the renewable energy sector, environmentalists, and the public health sectors.
Learn about the historical development of cities, as well as their current complex problems and opportunities. How cities and their surroundings develop is complicated and ever-changing.

You'll develop skills that can help you shape the future outcomes of cities across the world. Dundee City itself, together with its surroundings, forms an ideal laboratory.
In Geography, you study both social and physical sciences to analyse and understand major challenges facing the world. You will develop creative skills in problem-solving, presentation, and communication. Organisations to help them solve problems that they are currently facing.

Contextual admissions
Universities and colleges consider more than grades when assessing applications and may make offers based on a range of criteria. Learn more about contextual offers.
Achieving a strong set of qualifications is key to earning a place at the University. We understand grades are influenced by things outside your control, such as the impact of deprivation where you live. That’s why each year we look at each student's application in detail including circumstances outside of your control that may have impacted your potential.
