Bachelor of Urban Planning (Honours)

The University of Auckland

Professional urban planners play a critical role in shaping our urban environments – economically, environmentally, socially and culturally. The Bachelor of Urban Planning (Honours) explores how towns, cities and public spaces can impact our lives. You will use both critical analysis and creativity to address real-world issues and implications of urban development. With a BUrbPlan(Hons), you’ll be eligible to apply for membership to the New Zealand Planning Institute. The three common avenues for employment in urban planning are local government, central government and private practice. BUrbPlan(Hons) graduates generally start out assisting in all aspects of planning, and later choose to specialise in one domain, such as transport, consents, environmental planning or design.
