This program provides students with an opportunity to choose four courses from four related postgraduate Masters degrees in the Faculty of Built Environment: Master of Urban Policy and Strategy, Master of Urban Renewal and Housing, and Master of Sustainable Built Environment. Two courses from the Master of City Analytics are also available. The program is targeted towards mid-career urban policymakers and practitioners in government, industry and consultancy and who wish to advance their careers and deepen their knowledge of urban policy, housing, urban renewal or sustainable development. Students may choose a mix of policy and/or practice courses from any of the listed courses below. All the courses are taught in 'intensive mode' to suit students wishing to extend their learning alongside full time work. The program is accessible to interstate students due to the intensive mode of teaching - meaning that most classes are structured in 2-3 day blocks usually spanning Fridays and Saturdays. The program utilises a number of different teaching strategies including: studios, master classes, problem-based learning, case studies and field trips, consulting projects with clients, and evidence-based research (depending on course choices).
