City planning is, without doubt, a career for the future. And there is nowhere better to study it than in the 'living laboratory' of Australia's fastest growing city: the Gold Coast.
The Graduate Certificate in City Planning provides an introduction to postgraduate studies in this dynamic field. It is part of an articulated pathway that provides an industry recognised qualification that can be built on overtime to a Graduate Diploma of City Planning and a Master of City Planning.
The program's curriculum includes the opportunity to focus on climate change adaptation and resilience, city economics, the core principles of place-making and an understanding of First Nations cultures.
The suite of city planning programs are designed to produce practice-oriented urban planners and designers who will take a leading role in creating sustainable cities and regions.
