Structure
Students will be required to complete the two core subjects and the two subjects that are compulsory to this major. Students in the 200 point patyhway will be required to take at least 12.5 points of research or internship or project based subjects. Students in the 100 point pathway will not normally be required to complete this component. Students will undertake electives to make up the balance of the award. The selection of electives is made in consultation with the Sustainable Cities, Sustainable Regions major coordinators. It is the intention of this stream that students select from both regional and urban based subjects in order to intellectually connect with the social and ecological flows that connect regional and urban environments and landscapes.
