Urban and Regional Planning

Courses offered by the Department of Built Environment appeal to creative people with an interest in improving living conditions, urban developments, construction and environmentally friendly design.

This course has accreditation from the Planning Institute of Australia. The distinguishing characteristic of this course is the use of interdisciplinary knowledge and techniques in addressing environmental, social and design issues concerning the community.
