Bachelor of Design (Architecture)
Architecture is more than just art and technology. Our program goes beyond conventional notions of architecture. Our students are challenged to explore their potential as agents for change, focusing not only on designing physical spaces but also using architecture to stimulate and improve the communities they serve. Our program is designed to develop professionals who serve their communities with particular respect for Country and the challenges of our climate crisis. Through engaging in live projects, students develop design principles that prioritise social, economic, and environmental sustainability. We foster a consultative and collaborative approach, aiming to produce graduates who are advocates for social justice, equity, and diversity.
