Overview:

The major in planning and design is designed as an introduction to professional studies in urban planning and landscape architecture, conducted in the Faculty of Architecture, Building and Planning.

Faculty of Architecture, Building and Planning subjects enable students to demonstrate an analytical understanding of urban and landscape planning and design as activities concerned with patterns of urban life and relations with nature. The subjects demonstrate skills in the application of planning and design in the built environment, through studio-based project work, and concentrate on the creative devising and representations of alternatives.

A major in planning and design usually consists of nine subjects, totalling 112.5 points. It comprises:

  • two first-year planning and design subjects (25 points); and

  • seven second/third-year subjects in planning and design (87.5 points).

Students undertaking the Bachelor of Arts are permitted to enrol in a range of Planning and Design subjects but must complete a minimum of 50 points of first-year subjects and 100 points of second/third-year subjects in areas of study taught by the Faculty of Arts. Planning and Design subjects are arts-approved. However, students in the BA may enrol in a maximum of 150 points of Planning and Design subjects (provided all their other subjects are arts-approved). Students in BA combined degrees are limited to a maximum of 112.5 points (a major) in Planning and Design (provided all their remaining BA subjects are arts-approved).
