USQ’s Associate Degree of Spatial Science (Urban and Regional Planning) is the perfect way to begin or finalise your experience in planning. The Associate Degree is a qualification in its own right, and you can stop there if you want to, but it is also a pathway to a Bachelor degree. This means that the 16 courses (subjects) that you study can count towards a Bachelor degree.

As a graduate you will have knowledge and skills to work as a planning assistant to support professional planners and provide planning assistance in local, state and federal Government agencies, property development companies or in private enterprise. Career possibilities include commercial and retail developments, urban renewal projects, transport planning, environmental protection and regional and residential planning.
