Planning is about designing places that will stand the test of time – not cost the earth. It is about working towards a more liveable, more sustainable world.
This course offers a balance of theory and practice — we focus on you being able to integrate your academic knowledge into the real world. Through hands-on, industry-based work experience, you’ll gain the knowledge and skills that planners need to solve social and environmental issues.
You will get a broad, thorough understanding of design and planning in urban and regional contexts, across a range of major areas: land use; social and economic issues; transport; professionalism and ethics; environmental and planning law.
The skills you’ll learn are valued and transferable across many professional contexts, in both the public and private sectors.
