"The collaborative dissertation was by far the most useful, enjoyable and interesting period of my degree. It was a fantastic opportunity to make my research matter and to contribute to real-world policy debate. I am in no doubt that the knowledge, skills and network that I have gained from the process has given me an excellent foundation to my career in social housing development and regeneration”

- Conor Watt,  MSc City Planning and Real Estate Development

The student worked hard and conscientiously and opened up new insights into how policy intentions translate into practice."

- Gavin Corbett, Policy Projects Advisor, Shelter
