About the course

Our Master of Urban Planning and Design gives you the technical capabilities and creative capacity to address the big challenges facing our cities. Complex urban problems require planning professionals who are versatile and multifaceted: they need to be persuasive collaborators, articulate mediators and strategic organisers. Whether you’re keen to upskill or change careers, as a Monash Urban Planning and Design graduate you will be ready to work towards a sustainable and people-centered future. Our degree is accredited by the Planning Institute of Australia.

　　The degree seeks applicants from a diverse range of disciplines: architecture and design, economics, engineering, environmental science, geography, international development, and landscape architecture. You’ll build on what you already know to make a strong platform for the next stage in your career with urban planning and design. Employers now require planners who can bring fresh perspectives to solving urban problems, and readily adapt to new roles in the workplace. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
