Advance the role of design in shaping the future of cities through innovative approaches to urban-based practice.
What will future cities look like?
Urban Design is one of the key practices confronting critical issues affecting cities, such as the impacts of climate change, population growth, shifting workplaces, and transformations in industry, technology and infrastructure.
This masters degree at RMIT provides you with a studio-based, multidisciplinary environment to engage these issues through project-based study.
You will learn to creatively integrate expertise from related urban disciplines into design proposals, promoting alternative models for future city-building. This degree is designed to nurture designers who would like to advance their career and develop innovative approaches to their practice.
Urban designers work on large-scale urban projects in collaboration with other professionals (architects, landscape architects, urban planners, developers) and government.
