What will I learn?

This degree is designed for students who are passionate about both the Law and City Planning, and are interested in learning about the connection between the two.

The City Planning component gives you the skills and knowledge required to play an influential role in the challenges facing our natural and built environments. You will learn how to shape sustainable, equitable, healthy and inspiring built environments.
