A person provisionally enrolled is required to satisfactorily undertake a qualifying program which may
include course units, and/or such other work as is determined before admission is confirmed. Provisional
registration in the course will apply for a maximum period of 12 months for both full-time and part-time
students.
Articulation to the Masters Program from the Graduate Diploma in Urban
Design
Applicants are considered initially for acceptance in the Graduate Diploma in Urban Design. At the
completion of one semester for full-time students and at the completion of two semesters for those studying
part-time, students will be considered for enrolment in the Master of Built Environment (Urban Design).
A grade point average of 5.0 or better in the course is normally required for progression to the Masters
level.
Focus in the Masters Program
The Masters program includes skills and knowledge development through set coursework in common
with the Graduate Diploma in Urban Design, but also requires individual research and the writing of a
dissertation.
Course Requirements
Students must complete a minimum of 48 credit points per semester in the full-time course and a minimum
of 24 credit points per semester in the part-time course.
