Pusat Pengajian Perumahan, Bangunan & Perancangan  |  School of Housing, Building and Planning    USM White

Overview

The increasing in demand and supply in the housing sector is largely due to the increase in population and rising affluence. The rapid growth of urbanisation and globalisation has put pressures on urban and housing development.  Housing problems arising from this phenomenon are complex and possible solutions are hampered partly due to lack of skilled personnel. This programme is envisaged to fill the present vacuum. The objective of the programme is to train students with a broad range of issues in housing, increase the  knowledge on relevant aspects of decision making, professionalism and management in various housing sectors, both locally and internationally, and assisting the housing sector in research relevant to national development.
