COURSE DESCRIPTION
Summary
Innovative in its approach to understanding contemporary social, urban and environmental issues in urban and regional planning, the Bachelor of Planning focuses on recognising the social and cultural diversity of places, and the importance of cross-cultural approaches to research, plan-making and impact assessment. It will not only prepare you for a career in planning in which you have the power to shape more liveable and sustainable futures, but will also give you a distinctive edge among your peers. The hallmark of Macquarie’s Bachelor of Laws is its recognition of the way legal frameworks underpin such global issues. You’ll be challenged to think critically about the law to seek innovative solutions to legal problems – skills highly valued by employers. With the option to combine your law degree with any other Macquarie bachelor degree, you can open the way to an array of careers in legal practice, private industry, government, education and community services.
