The course is primarily open to candidates progressing from the final year of an RTPI-approved undergraduate programme at Oxford Brookes.

These will be our Bachelor programmes in:

BA (Hons) Plannning and Property Development
BA (Hons) Urban Design, Planning and Development
or - graduates from our recent past courses, such as BA (Hons) City and Regional Planning

Students who have graduated from equivalent programmes at other universities, and whose transfer has been approved by the department in collaboration with the RTPI - are also welcome to apply.
In all cases, a minimum of a 2.2 (Hons) is required.

Non-Brookes applicants will usually apply for our outright MSc in Spatial Planning course.

Students with planning experience and/or other degrees and qualifications may be accepted. Their applications are normally considered on the basis of the syllabus and pass mark of the student's earlier course or the presentation of a folio of work.
If your first language is not English you will require a minimum IELTS score of 6.5 overall with 6.0 in all components. TOEFL ibt: From 72 overall, with 18 in reading, 17 in writing, 17 in listening and 20 in speaking.
