In the public sector, the graduates are eligible to be employed as a planner at government agencies such as Jabatan Perancangan Bandar dan Desa, Jabatan Kerajaan Tempatan, Jabatan Perumahan Negara, Jabatan Pengurusan Sisa Pepejal Negara, Jabatan Lanskap Negara and local authorities.

In the private sector, the graduates are eligible to work in planning consultation firms, property developers, project management firms and construction companies. Other opportunities for the graduates are to be an academician or working with NGOs focusing on the society and the environment.

Programme Structure

Courses are designed on the principle of student-centred learning. Therefore, the concept of Student Learning Time (SLT) is adopted by the programme whereby each credit hour is equivalent to 40 hours of learning time by the students.

This include formal learning such as lectures,tutorials and informal learning time by the students such as revision, preparing coursework, etc. Thus, a 3 credits course would accumulate an SLT of 120 hours.

Lecture and, for some courses, tutorials are the primary means of teaching and learning. The lectures and tutorials are conducted both in classes and for allocated hours per week, depending on the course credit.
