About the course

The Bachelor of Architectural Design develops creative and technical capability through hands-on studio learning and expert teaching, with a strong focus on social and environmental impact. You’ll explore how buildings, places and urban systems shape communities while responding to challenges like climate change and urbanisation. You’ll use industry-standard facilities to prototype and visualise ideas, build a portfolio, and tailor study through specialised majors in architecture and the built environment.

Career outcome

Graduates can pursue roles across architecture, design and the wider built environment, applying studio-based design thinking and technical skills to real projects. Career pathways may include architectural and urban design support roles, digital design and visualisation, model making and prototyping, and work with planning or development teams. The degree also provides a pathway into accredited postgraduate study toward professional registration, building a portfolio for Bachelor-level practice in architecture and built environment fields.
