Urban
Design Graduate Program
In collaboration
with its partner universities,
the UDC has developed a new
graduate program of study in
urban design. The inaugural
class of both domestic and International
students commenced in first
semester 2007, producing its
first graduates in 2008.
The Urban Design
Graduate Program is offered
by The University of Western
Australia's Faculty
of Architecture, Landscape and
Visual Arts, with the
unique advantage of delivery
through the Urban Design Centre
of Western Australia. Core theory
seminars and the design studio
are held at the UDC's city location,
while Option units are taken
at the UWA campus in Crawley.
The Program
offers four qualifications designed
to cater to students entering
the field of urban design from
different backgrounds and with
different career objectives:
formal urban design study can
be pursued as a route to a career
in urban design, or as a different
way of thinking for architects,
landscape architects, planners
or other professionals whose
work impacts the shape of the
city.
The four qualifications of
the Urban Design Graduate
Program are:
The Graduate
Certificate in Urban Design
is for students who have completed,
or who are in the final year
of completing, a degree in
a related discipline. This
program is intended for those
who wish to continue to pursue
their current chosen profession
but with a greater understanding
of urban design issues.
The Graduate
Diploma in Urban Design
is for graduates and professionals
who wish to bring a greater
depth of understanding and
skill in urban design to their
professional work. Qualifications
and experience in a design,
planning or related area are
furthered with an urban design
focus, while option units
are chosen to complement the
student's undergraduate discipline.
The Master
of Urban Design (by coursework)
is for those who wish to practice
as an urban designer. This
program will enable you to
focus your professional design
contribution on the quality
and development of cities
and urban places. The core
of the program is the design
studio and students complete
the degree with a design thesis,
in which they pursue a largely
self-directed urban design
proposition of their choice
in greater depth.
The Master
of Urban Design (by research)
is for those students who
wish to pursue a career in
teaching and research, or
who want to pursue a particular
urban design idea through
research, looking for a way
to test a theory on how to
improve the quality of cities
and urban places.
