Bachelor of City Planning (Honours) / Law

About

This degree is designed for students who are passionate about both the Law and City Planning, and are interested in learning about the connection between the two.

The City Planning component gives you the skills and knowledge required to play an influential role in the challenges facing our natural and built environments. You will learn how to shape sustainable, equitable, healthy and inspiring built environments.

The Law degree enables you to study areas to complement the City Planning degree, such as land law, strata and community titles, and construction contracts.

Studying law opens the door to countless opportunities, inside and outside the legal profession. UNSW Law and Justice instils the values, skills and qualities you'll need to become a qualified legal practitioner with a strong sense of community and social justice. By combining Law with City Planning (Honours) you'll have a unique understanding of the implications of the Law on City Planning. Employers seek our graduates for their critical thinking and analytical skills. We teach our students to think outside the box, so when it comes to your career, there will be many options available to you.
