Course content
The MSc in Housing is a challenging course, which provides students with the range of skills, capacities and expertise needed by housing professionals in the 21st century. The main objectives of the course are to engage students with the complexities of housing problems, and to provide them with the range of skills required for becoming reflective and responsive practitioners. The course also promotes good practice, and gives students an understanding of the needs and demands of housing consumers. A range of people contribute to the lectures, seminars, workshops and project work that make up the programme: policy makers, housing practitioners, committee members, tenants and consultants, as well as academic staff. The teaching approach is progressive and varied with emphasis placed on student contributions, collaborative group work and project work.
Assessment is by a wide variety of methods including group and individual work, essays, reports, projects, presentations and examinations. The aim is to provide students with varied opportunities to test their skills and demonstrate their capabilities.

Funding is highly competitive and we recommend planning and researching your funding options well in advance of commencing your studies. Also, in most cases, you will need to have a firm offer of a place to study on a postgraduate programme before you will be considered for an award. It is therefore important that you apply for your chosen postgraduate programme well in advance of the closing date for funding applications as set by the relevant funding body.
