Here are five things that I would like to share with you as a Planning & Real Estate<\/a> student!<\/h5>\n
    \n
  1. Fieldtrips<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    I think one of the most interesting experiences as a Planning student is the fieldtrips. Apart from enjoying travelling to other places, you will also gain valuable knowledge and a better understanding from teachers\u2019 introductions during the walking trips. We have visited some places in Manchester or near Manchester so far, however, I have heard that there is a chance to travel abroad in the next semester as a fieldtrip! Moreover, in addition to the fieldtrips from the University, as a Planning student, to have a sensitive observation towards every street, place and building you passed by is also important.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Interdisciplinary<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      This course combines numerous subjects together such as Urban Design, Planning, Economics, Environmental Management, Geology, etc. and you gain knowledge of different authorities and organisations in a variety of areas. Therefore, while studying or doing a project, don\u2019t be limited in one space and try to creatively consider all kinds of possibilities.<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Placement<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        In the second year, you will have the opportunity to choose a placement course as one of the optional courses, which means you can find a short placement during the semester to help you learn more about planning and real estate apart from what’s in textbooks.<\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Relevant challenges<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          Grab every event or challenge concerning planning or real estate if you are interested. This will provide you precious experience and even boost your CV. I have attended \u201cSustainability Challenge\u201d which taught me how to balance the cost and sustainable purpose whilst planning. Moreover, the course \u201cFood wave\u201d, which I am taking right now, is also about achieving sustainability in food and I am deeply convinced those valuable experiences will also help a lot with my future study.<\/p>\n

            \n
          1. Extracurricular activities<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            Sometimes attending extracurricular events can release our stress from lectures and assignments and meet new friends. For me, I have also joined in some University societies and volunteering in my spare time. As for societies I took part in, K-pop society and Photography society will always hold some wonderful activities for us and for the volunteering jobs, I have volunteered in Welcome Week and am currently volunteering once a week in Milk & Honey Caf\u00e9. I am also planning to do some volunteering jobs concerning sustainability or environment in the future.<\/p>\n
