Town Planning & Urban Design

Town planners and urban designers help shape the future of our cities and communities. We work with developers, government and local communities to design better places where people want to live and work.

There are a number of university pathways into town/urban planning and urban design in Victoria. Some courses, particularly for urban design, are offered at Master’s level, rather than a direct undergraduate degree:
RMIT University – Bachelor of Urban and Regional Planning (Honours)
RMIT University – Master of Urban Planning and Environment
The University of Melbourne – Master of Urban Planning
Monash University – Master of Urban Planning and Design
La Trobe University (Bendigo) – Bachelor of Planning (Honours)
La Trobe University – Master of Planning (Urban and Regional Planning)
La Trobe University – Master of Planning (Community Planning)
RMIT University – Master of Urban Design
The University of Melbourne – Master of Urban Design

There are also opportunities to enter the profession through related undergraduate degrees before completing a postgraduate planning qualification. For example, some planners study architecture, landscape architecture, environmental science, geography or design before majoring or specialising in urban planning.
