How to apply

We welcome all applications to our courses, which must be made through the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS). We particularly welcome applications from women, mature students, those with disabilities and from ethnic minorities. These groups are under-represented in the planning profession.

Each application is dealt with promptly when it arrives in the department. We treat each application on its own merits and do not set blanket qualifications thresholds, rather we look at a range of factors when deciding on an offer of a place on one of our courses. If we make you an offer we will invite you to visit the department for an open day to meet staff and students and to help you decide whether to accept our offer.

We have a quota of places to fill every year, so if the qualifications you achieve fall slightly short of what we have asked for, your place on the course may still be confirmed if we cannot fill our places from students who have met our offer.
