Certificate Spatial Planning Studies

  • DeadlineStudy Details:

    Certificate Part-time: 12 months.

Course Description

The Certificate in Spatial Planning Studies is a one-year part-time (one day per week) undergraduate level course. The purpose is twofold.

Firstly, the certificate offers an opportunity for people with no formal planning education to study key areas of contemporary planning in the context of a higher education teaching and learning environment.

Secondly, the course provides an access route to the Department of Planning’s RTPI and RICS  accredited MSc in Spatial Planning for students who do not have the normal educational qualifications necessary for entry onto the course.

The overall aims and objectives of the course are to provide students with a general, yet critical, understanding of the planning process and some of the key issues and themes in contemporary spatial planning.

Entry Requirements

Normal entry to the Certificate in Spatial Planning Studies requires:

  • GCSE, O-level or equivalent in Maths and English
  • at least 3 years’ suitable experience of working within the field of planning in an advanced technical or administration post.*

* Applicants who have 2 years’ work experience in planning at the commencement of their studies and have at least one A-level at grade C or above will also be considered.

Overseas students must meet the university’s standard English language requirements.

Applicants for the MSc in Spatial Planning who have been rejected because their first degree did not meet the required standard will be reconsidered for entry onto the master’s course if they complete the certificate course to the required standard.

If English is not your main language then you will also need to show that your English is at a high enough level to succeed in your studies.

You will need

  • IELTS 6.0-7.0 (normally with 6.0 in reading and writing and a minimum of 5.5 in listening and speaking)
