The New Zealand Planning Institute® supports programmes that foster links with fields of study allied to planning, so long as the core of planning knowledge and skills is maintained in a coherent fashion.
Diversity in planning programmes is
encouraged so that specialist disciplinary knowledge becomes
available to the planning profession (e.g. core knowledge and
skills plus: remote sensing and geographic information systems,
engineering geology, natural ecology, Maori language and
culture, or social anthropology).
There are 5 universities in New Zealand which offer planning
degrees recognised by NZPI®, click on the below for full
