Architecture

Architects combine creative vision, innovation, technological understanding and architectural theory to shape how we live, work and play in our built environment.

As an architect, you will deal directly with many of the complex challenges facing our world, and will be at the forefront of change. Design lies at the heart of the architectural process, and you will learn to develop your designs using modelling and rendering techniques through studio-based classes and virtual and physical modelling.

Once you graduate from the Bachelor of Design, you can enter the workforce and join architecture or construction teams to provide specialist assistance on large projects or continue your studies in the Master of Architecture to meet the academic requirements to become an accredited architect.
