Master’s degrees in Urban and Spatial planning typically admit students who hold an academic degree in a related subject such as Urban and Spatial planning but in some cases also accept applicants from more diverse academic backgrounds, such as Architecture. For most programs, entrance tests or interviews are not part of the admission process, students must simply submit required documents (first degree certificate and a transcript of records). These typically include your CV, a letter of motivation and sometimes letters of reference. Additionally, you will have to prove your English language abilities with a language certificate.
