Over Easter we received the very pleasing news that a new four year degree in Environmental Planning has been approved and will be offered at Waikato in 2011. This presents an excellent opportunity for those who wish to pursue a career in environmental planning.

The degree has a unique structure which combines dedicated planning papers with "planning stream" choices which enable students to focus upon areas of interests. Supporting streams include coastal and marine environments, terrestrial environments and society politics and the environment. More information will be available from the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences administration offices as the degree rolls out. We will also be introducing further aspects on this blog.
