Bachelor of City Planning (Honours)

UNSW's Bachelor of City Planning (Honours) is a four-year, full-time embedded honours program leading to accredited professional planning qualifications, combining core disciplinary courses with electives and a practice year of genuine work-integrated learning in the workplace. The final year includes a plan-making studio and a research thesis, letting students pursue specialist interests in depth before graduating, reflecting the profession's real work: collecting and analysing information, forecasting, preparing policies and plans, exercising development control and communicating outcomes to diverse stakeholders. Using Sydney and New South Wales as a working laboratory placed in global planning context, the program builds analytical, collaborative and communication skills valued well beyond planning itself. It suits school leavers who've decided on planning as a career from the outset, wanting a fully accredited, practice-integrated undergraduate pathway into the profession.
