COURSE DESCRIPTION
The Master of Urban Design develops professionals who can understand the city as possessing both spatial and temporal elements that interplay in a complex system, and who can design for contemporary challenges such as mass urbanisation and changing climate demands.
Differing from architecture, which focuses on individual buildings and structures, urban design looks at groups of buildings, streetscapes, landscapes and the provision of municipal services, and aims to create harmonious, cohesive spaces.
By working in interdisciplinary teams that encourage interaction, collaboration and collegiate working environments, our students are employment-ready for a challenging and rewarding career in Urban Design.
The program covers:
- Urban history, theory and communications;
- Urban design practice;
- Urban planning issues;
- Urban design research.
Career Outcomes
Upon graduation your skills can be applied in a range of urban design and associated planning and design roles. Urban design skills are in great demand throughout Australia and the Asia-Pacific region and your expertise in the design of urban public spaces and strategic planning will provide the opportunity to work locally and globally. Our graduates work as: Urban Designer; Urban Analytics & Visualisation Manager; Strategic Planner; Urban and Interior Designer; Transport Analyst; Senior Design Advisor; Planning Designer; Design Manager
