Urban and regional planners develop strategies and design communities in which we all live, work and play. Planning helps balance community, environmental and economic needs, while recognising cultural significance in order to improve quality of life and create sustainable and vital communities. The Bachelor of Urban and Regional Planning provides students with the necessary knowledge and skills to critically analyse and solve complex problems — skills that help students adapt as professionals in a changing world.
The course offers a balance of theory and practice with a focus on integrating academic knowledge into the real world. Students will gain the knowledge and skills that planners need to solve a wide range of important social and environmental issues. These skills are valued and transferable across many professional contexts in both the public and private sectors, boosting fitness for future careers, while also working towards a more liveable, more sustainable world and helping communities work and thrive.
The Bachelor of Urban and Regional Planning is fully accredited with the Planning Institute of Australia.
