The UNSW Bachelor of City Planning is a four-year, full-time honours degree that shows you how to shape the future of built environments to benefit residents, businesses and communities alike. Because cities and regions need to be more than efficient and convenient – they need to adapt to foster a sense of connection, create new ways of living, and make sure we can sustainably grow.
Learn to thrive at the intersection of development, land use, environment and urban design. At the same time, gain the knowledge and skills to turn your creativity and critical thinking into solutions. From protecting our natural and heritage-built environments to working with communities in cultivating fair, equitable and inclusive neighbourhoods – you can make real change.
This planning degree gets to the heart of what makes great places tick. Shape the future of our cities and regions and make your mark on what urban and regional planning will be capable of for years to come.
