This program gives you a unique opportunity to prepare for a career as an environmental scientist or as an urban planner. Upon graduating, you will be equipped to play an important role in bringing social and natural sciences together to find solutions for complex planning issues and problems. With a strong focus on practical, hands-on teaching, you’ll learn state-of-the-art drawing studios and work on real industry projects. You’ll be taught by academics who have a strong footing in the industry and have the opportunity to network and connect with industry professionals throughout your degree. In your final year, you will complete an independent research project under the supervision of an academic staff member. The Honours program is a critical element for students seeking a direct pathway into research, academia and employment in many consulting and government organisations that prioritise the employment of honours graduates.
