Entry requirements

Preferably an upper second-class Bachelor's degree (or higher) from a UK university or an overseas qualification of an equivalent standard. Where candidates fail to meet the standard requirement (i.e. they hold a degree of a lower classification), the department will take into account professional experience in planning or a related field when considering the application. Applicants who do not hold a good second-class degree may, in exceptional cases, be admitted to the programme if able to demonstrate considerable senior-level professional experience in planning or a related field.
