FAQ 265
How many places do you have on your course?

Recent changes to Higher Education funding system in England mean that there is no pre-determined intake for our courses. The final numbers on the course will be a result of a combination of factors, including the level of places with supported finance made available through the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE), applicants' exam results, and the capacity of the Department and University, bearing in mind our commitment to quality teaching and maintaining a high staff-student ratio. As a rough guide, we normally admit around 50 students to our Urban Studies and Urban Studies & Planning courses combined. However, this changes every year for the reasons above.
