Is this course for me?
The course primarily meets the needs of those wishing to pursue
careers in the fast developing and expanding areas related to urban
regeneration and community development. It also provides a
stimulating and wide-ranging academic education. This is a two year
course with year 1 at Lewisham College with year 2 being
undertaken at London South Bank University.
What will I study?
You will study a wide range of units related to urban
regeneration and community development and in year 2 will elect a
specialism in planning, social policy or housing. Academic study is
supplemented by work-based study throughout the year, including the
summer period.
Subjects:

These are optional subjects:
1 option per semester in year 2 will be drawn from the degree
programmes for Planning, Social Policy and Housing, thus allowing
students to specialise
Those electing the Housing specialism will be eligible for
Practitioner Membership of the Chartered Institute of Housing
(CertCIH) upon successful completion of the Foundation Degree.
What can I do next?
This can lead to employment in a range of work related to urban
regeneration and community development in the private and public
sectors.
What are the entry requirements?
You must be in a paid or voluntary post with an organisation
active in the fields of regeneration and community development -
such as a local authority, Registered Social landlord or relevant
voluntary agency. In addition you will need one A level or
equivalent and 5 GCSE's including Maths and English. However,
mature students with considerable experience and a good command of
English who lack these qualifications will be considered on a
case-by-case basis assessed by an aptitude test and interview.
How will I be assessed?
Assessment is through written assignments, individual and group
work, oral presentations, projects, exams and portfolio
production.
The cost below of £1285 is for year one and similar for year two
plus an extra £400 to cover the field trip cost.
