Dear Aspirant,
James Cook University has started the course of Masters in Urban Designing by collaborating with professionals around the world and therefore, this degree is unique in its ways. This is a collaboration of cultures and they will shine through the course. This course is meant for those who want to change the world through their actions and their career and job opportunities. This Master's degree is only available at this university. The campus is in Singapore from which you wish to pursue and the start dates are February and July. Planning and Urban Design is a 2 year full-time Masters course.
This will help you get a job anywhere in the world in creative roles in all sectors, be it government, not-for-profit, in developing countries where there is a need to impart such knowledge or corporates. As it is singularly established, it will remain a valuable course, wherever you go. You would be able to design cities and would be able to help communities to tackle climate change through your planning. You would be able to work towards issues relating to population, urbanisation, poverty and homelessness, land use and create a culturally inclusive and economically developed environment for those around you. This course will equip you with hazard mapping, planning sub-divisions, ecological sustainability, policy development, environmental law and urban and regional planning. Therefore, you will have special knowledge in the field of tropical planning and you would be able to articulate this knowledge to make a career in politics or research as well if you wish to.
Therefore, it is a good course to move forward with and will surely enable you to get a job in Singapore.
Hope this helps. All the best!
