THE University of Ulster’s urban planning teaching has been granted Partnership Board status by the Royal Town Planning Institute (RTPI).
Dr Neale Blair, course director and senior lecturer in spatial planning, said the new status affirmed the importance of Ulster graduates to the planning profession in Northern Ireland.
“Our graduates have gone on to successfully find employment in the planning and development sector right across Northern Ireland and further afield, with several returning to Ulster for further research study,” he explained.
“The RTPI has commended our planning team on the relevance of teaching content to contemporary practice and the high level of support given to students.”
