Swinburne University of Technology
Master of Urban Design
Nationally Recognised Higher EducationOur Master of Urban Design equips you with concepts and skills that will future-proof your career as an urban designer, project manager or urban planner. Graduates from our Master of Architecture and Urban Design can also pursue careers in architecture.
Urban Design is about shaping urban environments across a range of scales — from individual buildings and streets to neighbourhoods, suburbs and entire cities and their wider regions. Through a future-focused, design-led approach, you’ll gain in-depth knowledge of how transport, community, environment, economy and policy fit together to make the healthy, inclusive, culturally-significant and sustainable places we can all call ‘home’.
Use cutting-edge tech to master visual communication and data/urban analytics skills while develop your spatial thinking skills by combining architectural, creative and evidence-based approaches to urban challenges. You’ll get to engage with industry experts and tackle real-world issues like designing for the future health, sustainable mobility and resilience of cities.
