Diploma in International Academic Studies DIAS

### Attendance

The Planning, Regeneration and Development course at Ulster can be completed as a 3 year full-time (BSc) course or a 4 year full-time (Integrated Master’s - MSci). The first three years of both courses are identical and both courses have an optional placement year. You will initially enrol onto the BSc pathway, but can then proceed to the MSci after successfully completing year three/final year of the BSc.

You will study for two semesters in each academic year, usually taking three 20 credit point modules each semester. You are normally expected to complete 60 credits in each semester, with 1 credit equal to 10 hours of student participation on a module. The total number of hours on a module includes timetabled lectures / tutorials / seminars / computer labs and also the time spent by you working on coursework or preparing for class.

Typically, classes take place across 2-3 days per week; during the rest of the week you are expected to be working in the library or the Urban Planning Studio which is our own dedicated space on campus.

### Start dates

* September 2027

### Teaching, Learning and Assessment

Our passionate academics provide quality, research-led teaching that is informed by employers and civic leaders (e.g. spatial planners and community planning officers from various local authorities, Belfast Healthy Cities, Community Places, and Turley), making what you learn extremely relevant to the real world environment and your future career. Such practitioners will also provide guest lectures and contribute to study visits.

We use a range of teaching, learning and assessment methods. On campus there are face-to-face teaching sessions in a classroom setting for lectures, tutorials and studio classes. Lab classes are also used to teach you computer skills such as geographic information systems (GIS), urban design software, and development appraisal software. Study (field) trips are a feature across all years of the course and can be local - lasting a few hours - or international - lasting a few days - in Final Year.

We also use Blackboard Learn for online discussion boards and the distribution of module materials.

Assessment on modules takes a variety of forms including individual coursework (such as reports and research projects), group reports (for example site layout and design proposals), presentations, and written examinations. We provide feedback on all assessment so that you can use the experience for continuous improvement.

## Academic Delivery and Award Information

The content for each course is summarised on the relevant course page, along with an overview of the modules that make up the course.

Each course is approved by the University and meets the expectations of:

* the relevant generic national Qualification Descriptor

* the applicable Subject Benchmark Statement

* the requirements of any professional, regulatory, statutory and accrediting bodies.

Attendance and Independent Study

As part of your course induction, you will be provided with details of the organisation and management of the course, including attendance and assessment requirements - usually in the form of a timetable.

For full-time courses, the precise timetable for each semester is not confirmed until close to the start date and may be subject to some change in the early weeks as all courses settle into their planned patterns. For part-time courses which require attendance on particular days and times, an expectation of the days and periods of attendance will be included in the letter of offer. A course handbook is also made available.

Courses comprise modules for which the notional effort involved is indicated by its credit rating. Each credit point represents 10 hours of student effort. Undergraduate courses typically contain 10, 20, or 40 credit modules (more usually 20).

The normal study load expectation for an undergraduate full-time course of study in the standard academic year is 120 credit points. This amounts to around 36-42 hours of expected teaching and learning per week, inclusive of attendance requirements for lectures, seminars, tutorials, practical work, fieldwork or other scheduled classes, private study, and assessment. Teaching and learning activities will be in-person and/or online depending on the nature of the course.

Part-time study load is the same as full-time pro-rata, with each credit point representing 10 hours of student effort.

Class contact times vary by course and type of module. Typically, for a module predominantly delivered through lectures you can expect at least 3 contact hours per week (lectures/seminars/tutorials). Laboratory classes often require a greater intensity of attendance in blocks. Some modules may combine lecture and laboratory. The precise model will depend on the course you apply for and may be subject to change from year to year for quality or enhancement reasons.

This module examines a range of theoretical and practical issues surrounding leadership for successful delivery of regeneration and spatial planning. Understanding, and appreciating, such issues and considering how best to use new knowledge will be essential for spatial planners in terms of enhancing city resilience in an inclusive way.

The module is designed to prepare students to better manage their careers in the context of discontinuous change and provide an authentic experience of conflict and change within a planning context.

#### Research Design and Regeneration Project I

The module critically investigates the nature of a client-based research report and prepares students for their final year research project by reviewing a range of research approaches and methods. Students will be supported to develop a focus and appropriate research design and methodology for a client-based research project on a contemporary spatial planning / regeneration topic.

#### Research Design and Regeneration Project II

This module requires students to undertake an independent, in-depth study in relation to a specific planning / regeneration / development problem or issue and to demonstrate effective research, analytical, evaluation and appraisal skills in the specialism. Students are expected to demonstrate an applied understanding of the theories and practices of spatial planning, undertake empirical research in relation to an original problem, and reach appropriate evidence-based decisions or recommendations.

#### Coastal and Marine Planning

This module introduces students to the concepts and practices informing the emerging field of marine planning and management. Grounded in an appreciation of sustainable development, it explores the planning, regulation and management of the marine resource from a governance, public policy and transdisciplinary perspective.

The module provides students with a solid appreciation of the complexity of the property rights regime, the potential modes of intervention and the challenges of managing competing stakeholders.

### Optional Modules

Optional modules are reviewed on a Programme each year and we may change the options available to you, to reflect our staff expertise, changes in Programme requirements or to reflect feedback that we have received from other Students, employers or other interested parties.

If your Programme contains optional modules, you will be provided with a list of these in good time so that you can choose the options right for you each year. Sometimes, we may not be able to run a particular optional module because not enough Students sign up for it or because a member of staff is not available to teach a module.

Where this may be the case, we will let you know when you are provided with your option choices, and you will be able to choose an alternative if one of your selected modules does not run.
