Master of Planning (MPlan)

Overview

If you have completed a Bachelor of Planning degree and have an interest in pursuing advanced research in planning, the Master of Planning (MPlan) is a good choice. It allows you to specialise in a topic of particular interest and thereby enhance your career.

You will be encouraged to immerse yourself in a rich research environment, engaging in discourse and debate with school staff and fellow students. Your programme of study can be entirely thesis-based, or involve the preparation of a significant research report combined with advanced coursework.

^{Important: This is a research degree only. It is not a professionally accredited degree and will not prepare you for professional registration.}
