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.
Spatial planning manages space and develops places to meet societal, economic, and environmental needs. This degree explores the interaction and evolution of people, places, and the environment to influence these dynamics positively.
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.
