This course is designed for professionals in design, planning, and property seeking to advance their careers with a comprehensive understanding of planning and negotiation skills. Choose this course to transform your perspective on planning from a mere approval process to a critical, community-connecting task. It stands out by integrating disciplines such as urban design, economics, and law, ensuring a multidisciplinary approach to urban planning.

You will gain insights into policy, environmental, and demographic factors that influence urban development. The course also offers a combined degree option with property development for a more extensive educational experience. Expect to learn about sustainability, the property development cycle, land markets, and feasibility studies. You will also develop technical skills for forecasting and planning large-scale community projects.

Your learning will be active and applied, with a focus on real-world scenarios. Collaborative teamwork, case studies, and field trips, including international travel opportunities, will form the core of your educational experience.

Whereas planning has often been seen as an approval process, UTS approaches the discipline as a critical task, one that connects communities with governments, institutions and developers.

Through this course, students proactively engage with policy, environmental and demographic frameworks to understand how planning decisions shape the urban environment over the long term. This engagement is multidisciplinary, spanning planning, urban design, property, architecture/landscape architecture, economics, spatial analysis, law and urban ecology.

With UTS, the Master of Planning may also be studied as a combined degree incorporating property development, the UTS Master of Property Development and Planning.
