About the course

Our Bachelor of Architectural Studies is a globally competitive degree focusing on the relationship between architecture, communication, technology, culture, and natural and built environments. Our alumni network spans the globe, from award-winning local architectural practices to international practices with offices worldwide.

　　This bachelor-level degree will provide you with the skills and knowledge to understand design principles and methods, building structures and construction systems, digital design and communication methods, sustainable design strategies, and the social and cultural history that shapes our world.

　　This degree has a strong practical focus – in architectural design studio classes, you will design real and speculative projects informed by contemporary architectural practice and construction, as well as undertake research and hands-on learning through industry-led and practically-focused coursework.

　　As well as the opportunity to gain relevant practical experience, you will gain the skills needed to design architectural environments that range in scale and complexity and develop:

　　Research methods and skills to integrate theoretical, behavioural, environmental, and ethical issues within your architectural projects.

　　Understanding of the social and political context of architecture.

　　Verbal, written, and graphic communication skills, including traditional drawing methods and 2D and 3D computer-based representation skills that will enable you to explore your designs using Virtual and Augmented Reality and game engine environments such as Epic’s Unreal.

　　Conceptual and technical skills to demonstrate a broad understanding of knowledge in contemporary design culture, including Aboriginal and First Nations cultural practices.

　　This degree focuses on developing skills and knowledge by studying the relationships that are shared between architecture, digital and analogue communication, design and construction technologies, cultural history, and natural and built environments. An emphasis on current architectural practice in Australia and overseas means you graduate with knowledge of the ever-changing nature of architecture globally.

　　You will also have the opportunity to take part in the unique award-winning Design and Construct coursework, where you’ll collaborate, design, and build real projects in locations across Australia and overseas with students from other design disciplines. Some of the projects students have designed and built include the visitor accommodation at Port Resolution (Tanna Island, Vanuatu), Aboriginal ranger accommodation and research facilities in Fish River (Northern Territory, Australia), and accommodation and research facilities at Witchelina Station (South Australia, Australia).
