Handbook

During the Practice Year professional procedures and practice come to the fore, and students are encouraged to think more critically of planning (particularly as a function of the State) and their role as practitioners. This Practice course is intended to accommodate a real-world appreciation of the social, economic, ideological and political context of professional planning. Students will draw upon their own experiences from the practice year to appreciate and reflect upon fundamentals of practice in terms of politics, ethical standards, negligence and workplace psychology, as well as basic tasks faced during their practice year (such as project management and writing/responding to briefs). Students will also be encouraged to discuss the current position of the planning profession, in the broadest setting, of these concepts and practices.
