What will I learn?

Planners help make inner cities, suburbs and regional towns more liveable and sustainable. Planners shape cities, towns and regions through the development planning policy that integrates infrastructure and services. They develop plans, strategies and designs that can improve the quality of life for people and support ecosystem services1. A key component of this postgraduate qualification relates to the planning and development of environmentally sustainable cities and regions that acknowledge social diversity and the need for greater physical activity and contact with nature, which can help to prevent chronic diseases associated with excessive sedentary behaviour.The courses studied focus on real-world issues and therefore provide you with relevant skills that are transferable in the workplace.This qualification lays a solid foundation of knowledge and is a great pathway into the professional accredited and recognised Master of Urban and Regional Planning.
