Course outline

UQ’s Bachelor of Urban Planning is a future‑focused program that blends creativity, strategy and collaboration to build cities and communities where people can live, work, move and thrive. Throughout your studies, you’ll work on industry‑led planning projects across a variety of scales and settings, guided by leaders with extensive professional experience and expertise at Queensland’s top university for Urban Planning (EduRank 2025). You’ll gain hands‑on understanding of the profession through up to 200 hours of work experience and broaden your perspective with opportunities to take part in international field study courses. As part of a thriving School community, you’ll connect with peers through OOPS (the Organisation of Planning Students), and your degree can open pathways to further study through the Master of Urban Planning or Honours programs. You’ll graduate with a qualification recognised by the Planning Institute of Australia and be prepared for a variety of interesting roles in the public, private and civil society sectors.
