Core Curriculum Review

The purpose of the Core Curriculum is to contribute to defining expectations for planning education (content) and to serve as benchmark for the admission of new member schools. The revised document will address three main aims:
1. Contribute to a common identity for all AESOP member schools;
2. Provide a set of minimum requirements in order to be recognised as a planning school;
3. Increase the quality and visibility of planning education and contribute to improving the (professional) recognition of planners educated in AESOP member schools.

Process so far

Drafted key items
