In this article, the authors aim to present issues addressed within the framework of the architecture and spatial development courses offered by the Faculty of Architecture at Gdańsk University of Technology (FA-GUT), Gdańsk, Poland. These issues concern competence in the education of future spatial planners and their readiness to deal with the development challenges facing small- and medium-sized towns. Within the article, the similarities and differences are pointed out that relate to curriculum structure and academic outcomes that can influence the professional profile of graduates. Similarities between the two courses enable identification of the most effective model. The article includes a summary of the educational problem, an outline of design studio profiles for both courses, comparison of the results achieved and conclusions regarding future educational efforts, including relevant lessons for other planning and engineering schools. The conclusions focus on the lessons learnt and suggest improvements that can be made worldwide within educational programmes.
