Urbanism (Urban and Regional Planning)
Master
Overview
About this course
The program introduces you to contemporary planning theories and debates while instilling expertise in key areas of planning practice. You will develop broad knowledge of urbanism and deep specialisation in planning to offer your expertise across the built environment sector.
Who is it for?
This program is open to a broad range of applicants who wish to develop an interdisciplinary approach to urbanism, with specialist skills in planning practice, that can be applied across roles in development, policymaking and design of the built environment.
Structure
What you’ll study
You will engage in an integrative set of core units, introducing key concepts that reach across a diverse range of factors affecting the planning, policy-making, and urbanisation of our future cities.
The program then culminates in an Integrated Studio capstone unit where you will apply your knowledge to a complex real-world project. The Studio will emulate professional practice by working with community groups, developers, and/or politicians to develop an appreciation of the interrelated strategic, economic, social, and environmental context in which urban design occurs.
Throughout your degree, you will be able to select from a range of electives to deepen or broaden your studies, including the option to take an international field studio placement (for domestic students).
