RTPI Bursary Scheme 2019-20

We are pleased to announce that the Department of Urban Studies and Planning is continuing to work in partnership with the RTPI to aid Postgraduate study within the Department through the RTPI's Future Planners Bursary scheme. We will be offering three bursaries worth £2,250 to successful applicants who has been made an offer to study on the MSc Urban and Regional Planning or MSc Cities and Global Development in 2019-20.

The Royal Town Planning Institute (RTPI) has created a bursary for places on accredited planning Masters courses within the Department at the University of Sheffield. The bursary is open to students from any discipline including law, politics, geography or architecture who decide to choose planning as a career.

The bursary is worth £2,250 to each successful applicant and will be available for the recipient to use at their discretion.

For this programme students will be eligible if they:
