Bachelor of Design (Architecture)/Bachelor of Engineering (Honours)

Bachelor of Design (Architecture) Our architecture course is increasingly being recognised internationally for its focus on innovation in design and sustainable development.

You'll be inspired and empowered to create environments with a positive impact on human health, environmental quality, social relationships and urban systems.

You will study sustainable systems and undertake architectural design projects in practical studio settings.

Throughout your degree, you will undertake architectural design projects with a practical edge which will require you to think logically and creatively about how buildings function and are constructed.

Graduates can find employment in the fields of architecture and building design.

This redesigned course is undergoing reaccreditation with the Architects Accreditation Council of Australia.

We are also seeking recognition from the Australian Institute of Architects.

Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) Study a Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) and get access to multimillion dollar research facilities, as well as learning practical solutions that impact on the real world.

A range of opportunities are available to you with the double degree including careers in architecture, project management, property development, construction, civil engineering and urban design.

Specialise and tailor your course to suit your own career aspirations.

Study opportunities include student-led projects, international study tours, and access to multimillion dollar research facilities.

As part of this course, you must choose one of the following majors:
