If you would like to apply for one of our Masters courses you may find the following information useful.

 

How to apply

If you wish to apply for one of our postgraduate programmes you should make your application directly to the University, all the forms and information you need can be found on the University of Reading website - www.reading.ac.uk/pg

You can download the application form from the University website and either email it or post it to our Faculty Office. You should also include the following documents:

• Personal statement - one side of A4 is sufficient - telling us why you would like to come to study at Reading
• A copy of your degree certificate - if you have not yet got this then please send a copy of your degree transcript
• Two academic references

 

After you apply

Our staff will look at your application and decide whether to offer you a place. Our Admissions Panel meets approximately once a month from November. We can only review your application when we have received all the documents mentioned above. We do not normally interview candidates. Each year we accept over 100 students onto our Real Estate Masters programmes and places are offered on a first come first served basis so we advise you to apply early. If we offer you a place, you will receive a letter from the Faculty Admissions Office which will explain the offer and any conditions attached (e.g. that you must get certain grades in your exams). At this stage you will be asked to send us a £500 deposit to secure your place. This is not refundable.

 

Real Estate & Planning Visit Day

If we make you an offer you will be invited to come and see us on a Visit Day. If you are still considering whether to apply you are welcome to come to the Visit Day to find out more about us; look out for details on our web site. The Visit Day usually take places in March and includes a chance to meet with staff and students and the opportunity to ask in more detail about the programme you have applied for.

 

Confirmation of your place

Once you have met any conditions attached to your offer (for instance achieving the required grades) you will gain automatic acceptance onto the programme of your choice.

 

We look forward to welcoming you …
