Architecture is a discipline that uses a broad set of skills. The
Bachelor of Environments is an ideal degree on which to build
an architecture career that is relevant to the 21st century.
Architects need to work effectively with multidisciplinary teams and find innovative solutions to complex and often conflicting scenarios. Contemporary issues that confront designers include climate change, globalisation, urbanisation and new technologies.
Design lies at the heart of the architectural process and is underpinned by expertise in history, theory, environmental and construction technology, and communication. Students who major in Architecture will develop a strong base of design competence and knowledge across a wide range of architectural issues.
The Architecture major allows you to develop your designs using the latest modelling and rendering techniques through studio-based classes. You are selected on academic aptitude rather than previous drawing or design experience. Bright and enthusiastic students quickly develop the necessary skills with strong support from an expert cohort of architecture academics and practitioners.
Once you have completed the Bachelor of Environments with a major in Architecture, you can either go straight into employment or apply to continue into the two-year Master of Architecture professional degree which will lallow you to become a professional architect.
The Master of Architecture emphasises the central role of design in the studio and provides you with:
Design knowledge that contributes to the improvement of the built environment
Grounding in the rich lessons of architectural history, theory and technology so you can develop innovative architecture relevant to time and place, people and culture.
Most graduates of the Master of Architecture find employment in private architectural firms where they work on residential, commercial and institutional projects. There are also opportunities to work on interiors and historic building conservation and renovation. Many graduates will realise an ambition to run their own architectural practice, others pursue options to work overseas.
