Career
Our alumni go on to have an exciting and broad range of careers, using the skills learnt from their DPU degrees.
Students form strong networks and collaborative working relationships that continue after the programmes have ended. Alumni report how the different programmes have allowed them to explore new perspectives: “It was an important year of professional and personal reflection, marking the moment that planning became an ethical as well as technical pursuit”. “It exposed me to various discourses on urban development, new methodologies and communication techniques […] most importantly it included practical works to test this learning”.
