All three are strong (if it's a RTPI accredited course then it should be up to a high standard). All of those three are quite strong. If I had to chose just one then Cardiff. Last time I checked it's right up there as the best in research quality and quantity. It's also in a lovely building in a great city.

Bumping this, because I'd like to hear some experiences/thoughts on LSE's MSc Regional & Urban Planning Studies. It's not RTPI accredited, but it is accredited by the RICS. It's more policy/consultancy focused, as opposed to having a spatial planning focus. Does anyone have any experience with this program? Know anyone who's either in or has completed the program? It looks like a very interesting program, but I'm a bit hesitant considering it's not RTPI accredited.
