Throughout their time with us our students and researchers take part in a number of practical assignments and projects. The work may fulfil one of a range of purposes including an end-of-year assessment, external competition or professional collaboration. Here is a recent example.
BA Tourism and Hospitality Management Programme
Tourism students have been working on a live piece of consultancy for Waterloo Business Improvement District. In a module on Destination Planning students were asked to undertake market research and concept planning for a new student-centred nightlife area near the University. This type of entrepreneurial and practical project typifies the LSBU approach to Tourism and Hospitality Management at LSBU and gives students invaluable insight into the dynamics of the client/consultant relationship.
MA Planning, Policy and Practice
The 'Shard' designed by architect Renzo Piano, is the latest in iconic architectural mega-structure to be emerging in the cityscape of London. As part of their Planning, Policy and Practice postgraduate diploma, students undertake planning assignments. This project aim was to analyse the urban context around the Shard site using council and national policies, and thereafter design a proposal for a regeneration intervention on an urban scale.
PGDip Town Planning
Like all good ideas, the concept for our website was born during a chat in a pub. A group of LSBU students were discussing how difficult it was as we were based at a variety of locations. We then thought about how the world was becoming smaller through technology and wondered why distance should cause us such difficulties. So we came up with the idea for the Planning Scholars website.
