Overview
This scholarship, jointly administered by the British Chamber of Commerce as well as the RTPI, will help partially fund the tuition fee for 1 student starting our MSc Spatial Planning and Real Estate programme in September 2026.
Together, the BCC and the RTPI wish to make a difference – providing opportunities for individuals who may not have been able to afford to consider studying for a career in planning and, at the same time, boosting planning services.
The first cohort of BCC scholarship 'trainee planners' - from a diverse range of backgrounds - will commence their studies in September 2026 and will be available to work in local authorities by the Autumn of 2027.
Mentoring and work experience opportunities will also be part of the package. In return, at the end of their course of study, each recipient would be expected to work in a council planning role for at least two years.
Eligibility
All students with a UK fee status coming to study the MSc Spatial Planning and Real Estate Development programme in September 2026.
