Spatial Planning MSc at UCL equips students with the skills to address complex planning challenges and develop sustainable, resilient communities. With a focus on strategic, integrated, and inclusive planning, this 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 master's degree explores the interaction and evolution of people, places, and the environment to influence these dynamics positively.
Throughout your degree you will delve into urban and regional planning complexities in the UK, exploring definitions and solutions. You will gain a deep understanding of UK planning systems, critically comparing them with Europe and worldwide, investigating spatial and comparative perspectives in planning to learn about integrated solutions and sustainable development goals. By understanding social and physical dynamics, combined with ethical considerations, you will be equipped to create planned interventions on urban and regional scales.
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 considerable senior-level professional experience in planning or a related field. In such situations, a special qualifying essay will be set.
