Postgraduate
This subject, together with Major Project Analysis and Major Project Outcomes, develops core skills that give students the ability to successfully complete rigorous and original planning problem solving exercises. In this subject, students produce a literature review of their chosen planning problem, as the first of three parts of the Major Project (the other two parts are completed in the Major Project Analysis and Major Project Outcomes subjects). The literature review both identifies contemporary analyses relating to the problem, and places the problem into the context of wider planning issues. The literature review critiques contemporary planning practice relating to the problem, and thus develops students' ability to constructively reflect on the validity of current planning methods. Students develop an understanding of relevant research approaches and analytical techniques used in problem solving. The subject is undertaken primarily via self-direction, but students are carefully guided by their supervisor and meet on a regular basis for tutorials. The subject also incorporates seminar discussions.
