course info: Bachelor of Architectural Design

This degree is students first step in a two-degree program toward becoming an architect. Architects shape the environment that people live in. They can revitalise cities, help them to live more sustainably and create rich environments for them to live and work in. With an emphasis on making, they will work across multiple media and scales, from drawing to digital fabrication to models and full-scale building. Through design media, they will learn to critically observe and test their ideas. They will also examine design and its relationship with urban networks, while developing an understanding of techniques and technologies. Once they successfully complete it, they are guaranteed entry into their two-year Master of Architecture. With the Master of Architecture, they will be ready to practise. Their constantly changing built environment means a continual demand for architects exists in Australia and internationally.
