Route to Planning Officer

I am looking to career change - have been working as a TV Producer on mainly BBC and Channel 4 - and am interested in the planning world.
I have an undergraduate degree in Linguistics (UCL) - so not planning related.
Is there a 1 or 2 year MA intensive course that would get me to the start point?
Or would you not be considered, if you don't have a degree in a vocational or related subject? Thanks

Have you looked at the entry requirements for any masters courses? If it is not clear on the course web page, then email admissions and ask if a specific undergraduate degree is required:
