Master of Planning
University of Otago · Dunedin, New Zealand
The Master of Planning (MPlan) entails postgraduate coursework in planning and planning-related subjects. Topics include urban, landscape and heritage planning, natural resources, environmental management, and the political, legal and administrative contexts within which planning is carried out.
Admission to a taught master's or postgraduate programme normally requires a recognised bachelor's degree in the same or a closely related field. Otago generally expects a sound academic record — most programmes look for at least a B average (commonly B+ or better) in the relevant prior study; some professional programmes also require work experience or professional registration. Entry standards vary by department, and applicants must meet the university's English-language requirements.
