Overview

The Urban Planning and Design program at Monash University is set in an architectural school that combines knowledge in urban planning, such as regulation, economics, governance and engagement, with spatial and design approaches.

Key facts

Focusing on real-world, project-based learning in neighbourhoods in cities and towns, you’ll become adept at combining the technical competencies and creative capabilities that planners and urban designers use in practice.

You will grow your analytical and design skills to understand and intervene in urban contexts at a variety of scales; develop your research skills to learn and apply knowledge drawing on Australian and international case studies; and strengthen your graphic, written and spoken skills to communicate your ideas effectively.

Career opportunities

By working in interdisciplinary teams that encourage interaction, collaboration and collegiate working environments, you’ll be employment-ready for a challenging and rewarding career.

You might work in local or state government as a statutory, strategic planner or urban designer; or in practice with a small local or a large international firm; or in not-for-profit organisations in Australia and overseas. Your career choices are many and varied.

Regardless of where you would like to apply your skills and knowledge, our Master of Urban Planning and Design will prepare you to be a strategic planning professional capable of resolving some of the world's most complex urban issues.
