Course overview

The Graduate Diploma in Urban Design provides a focused year of urban design history, theory, implementation strategy and studio based learning. The Graduate Diploma builds on the Graduate Certificate and offers students experience as individual designers and as participants in interdisciplinary groups assigned to working on the complex nature of urban design issues.

Their degree of experience would qualify them to participate in interdisciplinary professional teams involved in the production of urban design in a professional context.
