Throughout your Master of Environmental Planning (MEP) studies, you will enhance your expertise in both the theoretical and practical aspects of planning. Your research skills will reach an advanced level, and you will gain a comprehensive understanding of this specialised field. You will also refine your ability to make independent critical judgments.
As part of the MEP program, you will have the opportunity to participate in guest lectures, workshops, and field trips where professionals will share their knowledge and expertise. The Environmental Planning program has established strong connections with these professionals over the years.
The teaching staff are actively involved in relevant networks such as the New Zealand Planning Institute, City and Regional Councils, central government agencies, and private consultants. Collaboration is highly encouraged, and the MEP fosters close relationships between program members and potential employers in environmental agencies or resource-use industries. These connections are valuable for addressing real-world environmental challenges.
