This degree leads to a professional career in planning, with employment opportunities in both city and country. Planning is about working towards a more livable, more sustainable world, it is not a highly technical subject. Because planners need to be familiar with a wide range of issues, the degree provides a particularly broad general education. Work experience is an important part of the program. |
