Program Description
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 services (Planning Institute of Australia, Become a Planner 2020).
A key component of this masters degree 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 disease. You will also develop advanced research skills when you complete an individual research project under the guidance of a qualified research supervisor.
The courses studies focus on real-world issues and provide you with relevant skills that are transferable in the workplace. You will get the opportunity to practice these skills when you complete a professional work placement or project during your final year.
