Students come from a wide variety of backgrounds.
The typical mix of experience, age, nationality and opinion is one of the great assets of the programme. We accept applications from a wide variety of first degrees and work experience and encourage applications from overseas. Some students also take a year sabbatical from their employment to further refine their knowledge and skills. For example students have studied with us from Planning Authorities in Tanzania, National Park Authorities in Tanzania, Higher Education in South Africa, Higher Education in Scotland and a Planning Authority in Malta. Also, we encourage part-time registration for the Diploma or MSc for those already in employment, or seeking to spread the cost of study.
