Masters Degree Description

Spatial Planning MSc at UCL equips you with the skills to address complex planning challenges and develop sustainable, resilient communities. With a focus on strategic, integrated, and inclusive planning, this accredited urban planning degree prepares you for a successful career in city and regional planning, policy development, and related fields.

Entry Requirements

An upper second-class Bachelor's degree (or higher) from a UK university or an overseas qualification of equivalent standing. There is no particular subject requirement as the MSc provides an 'initial' planning education for graduates with cognate and non-cognate degrees. 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 deciding whether to admit a candidate. Applicants who do not hold a first degree may, in exceptional cases, by admitted to the programme if they are able to demonstrate at least five years of professional experience in planning or a related field. In such situations, a special qualifying essay will be set.
