Bachelor of Urban and Environmental Planning (Honours)/Bachelor of Science
This program gives you a unique opportunity to prepare for a career as an environmental scientist or as an urban and environmental planner. Upon graduating, you will be equipped to play an important role in bringing social and natural sciences together to find solutions for complex planning issues and problems.
Combining the knowledge and skills of planning with an in-depth study of core environmental areas, the program integrates all aspects of environmental sciences (natural, social, and economic) with planning principles.
Your foundation year introduces you to basic concepts, theories, and methods of planning and environmental sciences. Interdisciplinary skills in environmental problem-solving are developed along with generic skills in project management, group work, research, critical thinking, research, and writing for professional practice.
In Years 2 to 5, you will undertake a range of planning courses and receive training in environmental science and continue the development of specific and generic skills. In your final year, you will undertake an industry placement and work with a professional planning practitioner.
