Anglia Ruskin University Royal Town Planning Institute scholarship 2025

The British Chambers of Commerce, in partnership with the Royal Town Planning Institute, offers a full-fee scholarship for one student with a UK Fee status to study MSc Town Planning at ARU in September 2025.

Together, the BCC and the RTPI wish to make a difference, providing opportunities for individuals who may not have been able to afford to consider studying for a career in planning and, at the same time, boosting planning services.

The first cohort of BCC scholarship 'trainee planners', from a diverse range of backgrounds, will commence their studies in September 2025 and will be available to work in local authorities by the Autumn of 2026.
