Manchester’s MSc planning, seems they have more introduction modules. But I have heard Sheffield have better ranking in Planning field.

Hi @TamDL!

Congratulations on your offers! I appreciate that I don't study Urban Planning, but if you would find it helpful to get further course insight from a current student on the Urban Planning course here, you can via an online chat service on our website here. They'll be more than happy to answer any questions about why they chose to study here at Uni of Sheffield, and answer any questions you have about the course/ student life. 😊

Sheffield is a really great city, relatively inexpensive to study in as a student, and has lots of fun things to do- I've really enjoyed studying here so far! If you haven't already, you may also find it helpful to visit both Universities Open Days to get a feel for the campus/ city/ accommodation/ course / vibes to decide which Uni is best for you! It's a great opportunity to learn more about the course at that University, as well as chat to current students/ course leads.

Best of luck in making your decision, and do let us know if you have any further questions about Uni of Sheffield or student life here more generally!
