- Program Outline
The Master of Planning is a two-year program that is designed to provide advanced coursework leading to professionally-recognised qualifications. The program has a strong foundation in ecological, social and economic sustainability as a basis for planning. It also emphasises skills in communication and collaboration with local communities and professional groups.
The program employs a combination of lectures, tutorials, intensive workshops and studio activity. Graduates should find employment in government and private practice.
- Assessment
In the Master of Planning program, assessment is based on project work rather than on examinations. Details of all assessment tasks and the weighting of each are contained in the course guide for each course. Some courses contain assessment hurdles. These are components that must be passed to pass the course overall. All assessment practices within the Master of Planning are based on and conform to the University’s assessment policy. Other information concerning assessment, including policies related to submission of work and how to apply for supplementary examinations and assignments, can be found on the School’s website and in the Student Handbook.
