Development planning careers
Our alumni pursue a wide range of careers, applying the skills they gained during their degrees at The Bartlett Development Planning Unit.
We aim to expand and sustain a network of development practitioners around the globe and provide a space of inspiration on career trajectories. Building upon our international network comprised of professionals from different sectors, this platform provides opportunities for our DPU students to meet their peers, to share ideas, experience, and initiate collaborations. It also provides a platform for careers advice and the dissemination of information regarding jobs thereby promoting professional development.
