Course outline

UniSQ’s Bachelor of Urban and Regional Planning (Honours) equips you to play an important role as the planner and designer of our future towns and cities. Planners develop future strategies and policies to protect what we value and to guide development to incorporate the social, economic and environmental considerations that impact on where we live, work, play and how we move around. Working with professionals from other disciplines, community groups, government, developers, planners prepare strategies and plans that guide and regulate the future of towns and cities. You develop skills in environmental assessment and the sustainable use of land resources, community consultation, planning legislation, economics, transport planning, urban design, plan making and project management. Gain important practical skills by working with sophisticated technology and tools including satellite imagery for 3D mapping and visualisation of the natural and built environment. Choose a research project in your fourth year to investigate a specific urban and regional planning area, which also can provide a pathway for further study and research. For more information, visit Bachelor of Urban and Regional Planning (Honours) at UniSQ.
