What is a cognate undergraduate qualification? Urban planning is interdisciplinary in nature and requires students to develop skill sets and build knowledge across a breadth of areas. As such, planners often enter the profession from a commensurate range of backgrounds. Four key subject areas at the undergraduate level offer a strong and appropriate background for postgraduate planning education. These may either be reflected either as a degree specifically in any of these areas, but also where one (or more) of these areas are demonstrated in a substantive Major of a general Arts or Liberal Arts degree, Built Environment subject areas, and in particular architecture, landscape architecture, construction, property development, and urban design, social, economic and environmental science subject areas, in particular geography, urban studies and sociology, demography, economics, social policy and politics, communication studies, health studies, international development, environmental ecology, environmental management, environmental sustainability law/JurisprudenceEnvironmental, and Civil Engineering subject areas, which would also encompass surveying and spatial science degrees.

RPL ProvisionsStudents with an undergraduate qualification in the above subject/discipline areas will be eligible for RPL provisions of up to 24UOC, subject to application by the student and agreement of the Program Director on a case by case basis. Students from cognate backgrounds do not have to apply for RPL and can complete the full 96UOC, two-year full-time degree if they wish.
