Career prospects

Our Spatial Planning graduates are greatly valued by their employers for their analytical skills, critical perspective and sound academic understanding of the relationship between human activities, their spatial environment, and relevant spatial interventions enhancing their living environment.

Upon completion students will have knowledge of: interfaces between different planning concepts, sectors and interests; synergies that are found and trade-offs that are made along these interfaces; paths through which integrative planning is manifested in policy formulation, decision-making and projects at different geographical and institutional levels.

Spatial planners from Nijmegen work as policy maker, consultant or project manager for government, consulting firms, project developers, housing corporations or research institutes. Also, more and more of our alumni are working in international projects.
