Study urban and regional planning
Make a valuable contribution to the liveability of our cities
A qualification in urban planning will give you specialised knowledge and an understanding of how cities and sites are constructed, physically and socially.
Urban planning and design are essential to underpin good social, environmental and business outcomes and enable liveability in cities. Professionals in these disciplines apply critical thinking and expertise to manage and inform our urban places and meet the challenges of growth.
Objectives of strategic place-making and the integration of land use with transport and infrastructure, as part of the dynamic fabric of a city, are some of the mandates that lead to improvements in people’s lives.
The Bachelor of Architecture and Environments offers you a career pathway into the future of architecture, design, construction and urban planning. This multidisciplinary degree will provide you with the skills and knowledge to succeed in today’s complex global construction industries.
The Urban Studies Major will equip you with the skills and knowledge to understand the complexity of cities and to deal with urban problems that will be the centre of a vast array of professions. It will challenge you to think about the dynamic relationship between understanding cities and city-making by exposing you to a range of critical approaches and professional practices vital to urban life.
The Master of Urban and Regional Planning focuses on developing an understanding of the ways that cities and sites are constructed: physically, socially and environmentally. You will develop the professional communication skills, reasoning and analytical processes required to make valuable contributions to the policy, technical and regulatory aspects of urban and regional planning.
At the master’s level, our Urban and Regional Planning degree will take 1.5 years full time to complete (72 credit points).
The Master of Urbanism is a two‑year, 96-credit-point version of the specialist 18-month master’s program.
This extended timeframe enables you to experience a cross‑disciplinary approach and develop a broad knowledge of urbanism, alongside a deep specialisation in urban and regional planning.
