It enables students to deepen knowledge in an aspect of planning and urban studies and demonstrate capacity to develop and evaluate arguments, perform critical analysis and synthesis and apply creative thinking to complex problems. The focus of the research is determined by the student, and will normally have been initially developed through the preparation of a research proposal and literature review as part of a preceding faculty research design course, BENV7020. Students are assigned a supervisor, who will offer advice and provide feedback throughout the research process and thesis preparation. Students will usually undertake primary fieldwork, and put into practice core research and analysis skills developed throughout the degree. Preparation of a c15,000 word thesis also build students’ capacity to recognise and demonstrate the importance of coherence, logic, structure, relevance and accuracy in written outputs, presented in a creative and compelling way [edited from UNSW Handbook, 2019]. Read More

It encapsulates the principal mechanisms whereby planners understand, create, and care for, places and addressing the core challenges and opportunities faced by urban environments and their communities – both existing and future. Strategic spatial planning within the university classroom is where the practical, applied nature of the discipline is critically interrogated through a more conceptual, theoretical and critica lens. The key drivers of change within our cities, for example housing supply and affordability, urban renewal, urban justice, infrastructure and transport, are unpacked, and the tensions that shape how decisions get made – or not – understood through the complex lens of urban governance and how planning – and planners – engaged with those we plan for. As planners we are interested in the inherently spatial dimensions of these urban processes, recognising that collective efforts to influence land use change and behaviours of urban stakeholders take place at different geographical scales, and impact on different groups in different ways.Read More

The course consists of three components. The first component targets the main constituents of clinical governance, including practice design, analysis and improvement, error reporting and investigation, public accountability and open disclosure, multi-disciplinary teamwork and clinical leadership. The second component introduces the tools of clinical process redesign. These tools can help managers make practical improvements to practices in their units. The third component targets risk management by providing an overview of the kinds of risks faced by health service managers, and by outlining different views of risk (adverse effect versus opportunity capital). The course is comprised of three case studies that engage students in addressing specific but generalisable manifestations of the three components that make up the course.This course is only available to students enrolled in the Master of Public Health (International) 9040. All other Master of Public Health students should enrol in PHCM9748.Read More

Students at UNSW, Arizona State University and Kings College London who are in a PLuS Alliance program can enrol into this course.This course is offered in two modes: either face to face (on-campus) and fully online.Through the progression of this course, you will develop an understanding of a range of quality improvement and risk management theories and strategies. We will start by exploring the evolutionary context of quality in healthcare, and the role of systems and processes in creating our healthcare environments. We will examine the causes and consequences of breakdowns in quality that decrease patient safety. Learnings will be applied to practice through the process of conducting a root cause analysis. We will then analyse why these breakdowns are proving so difficult to remedy, despite the concerted efforts of healthcare professionals, managers, policymakers and consumers. Finally, we will critically examine the process of quality improvement, exploring several tools and methods associated with improving quality and safety. This course is designed to highlight knowledge that informs real-world action, and as such is intended to balance both the theory and the practice of quality improvement. Throughout the course participants will be able to draw on and share their experiences with health services and system engagement both locally and internationally. These experiences will form the basis of the learning activities and assignments.Read More
