TROPICAL URBAN AND REGIONAL PLANNING
(See also Human Geography)
Professionally trained environmental and urban planners are increasingly coming to the fore in the process of ecologically sustainable development. The initial skills needed to assess whether development is acceptable and which elements of project design are appropriate can best be gained through a course of tertiary study. This program provides a career qualification that is widely recognised by employers.
The program, administered by the School of Tropical Environment Studies and Geography (TESAG), may be taken towards the Graduate Diploma of Science or Master of Applied Science as a coursework degree. The aim of the program is to provide a broadly-based postgraduate education for planners in urban, shire and regional settings, as well as to provide scope for allied professionals to widen their accreditation in the field of planning.
Research degrees in tropical urban and regional planning may be undertaken as a Doctor of Philosophy or a Master of Science program in Human Geography.
