Urban Studies

Entry requirements

2.1 Hons (or non-UK equivalent) in a relevant degree. Students will be considered from a variety of backgrounds such as Social Sciences, Arts and Humanities in addition to more quantitative subjects like Engineering and Mathematics.

We may sometimes accept degrees at 2.2 Hons or non-UK equivalent.

If your degree is below a 2.1, please provide a reference and/or a CV for work experience to be considered.

If you require a Student Visa to study in the UK, please be aware that due to immigration rules that do not permit changing to a longer programme, it is not possible to progress onto any Masters programme after commencing the PgCert. This programme does not give eligibility for the Graduate Route. If you wish to study a full-time Masters degree, please apply directly to a Masters degree.
