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).
The following Universities currently offer Planning Degrees recognised by NZPI:
University of Auckland | Massey University | Otago University |
Lincoln University | Waikato University |
