The RTPI works in partnership with Universities to develop and accredit planning qualifications which allow graduating students to progress towards Chartered Membership of the RTPI.

Important Information

All of the Universities or awarding Institutions below offer planning qualifications accredited by the RTPI, beginning at either undergraduate or postgraduate level. Each course is indicated as being either ‘combined’, ‘spatial’ or ‘specialist’. Students who wish to progress to Chartered Membership must have completed the full qualification or route for a combined qualification; or have completed both a spatial and a specialist qualification. Neither a spatial nor a specialist qualification by itself is sufficient to progress to Chartered Membership.

This list is correct for entrants to the 2009/10 academic year. Qualifications that were accredited at the time of study, but are no longer available for new recruits, are not included in this list. Accreditation of past qualifications does not ‘expire’ – if in doubt about the accredited status of a qualification taken previously, please contact the Education Team.
