The University of Sydney

This program will develop your skills and knowledge in urban design and urbanism with a strong emphasis on sustainability, quantification and implementation. Gain a multidisciplinary outlook with emphasis on communication and collaboration that emulates real-world practice.Professionals and graduates in architecture, landscape architecture, urban planning or similar areas will develop and extend their professional expertise but we also welcome applicants from other disciplines. This course is ideal for graduates of the Bachelor of Architecture and Environments.Professionals with good urban design knowledge and skills are highly sought after by private consulting firms, development organisations, and local and state governments, where they are required to prepare and evaluate urban design policies, strategies, frameworks, guidelines, concepts, master plans and programs, and be involved in the more detailed design and management of urban spaces.Urban designers are crucial for solid development evaluation, and to enhance perspectives on urban conservation and transformation. There is also a small but growing demand for urban design educators and media commentators.
