Program Overview

Spatial Planning is all about shaping the future of our towns, cities and regions. Planners work together with communities, businesses and government to plan the future of our urban and rural spaces. Planning graduates will be able to prepare development plans for old and new areas, as well as developing transport and urban design solutions to create the healthier neighbourhoods needed for future generations.

Environmental Management is about ensuring a sustainable planet for future generations. It addresses the causes of environmental degradation including climate change, pollution and biodiversity loss and integrates a range of skills and techniques for managing the environment in a sustainable way. Students develop an understanding of the natural world, as well as the social and economic dimensions of environmental issues, both locally and globally.
