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

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. To become a registered architect once you have completed the Bachelor of Design (Architecture) you can progress onto our globally recognised Master of Architecture. Our master's degree is accredited by the Architects Accreditation Council of Australia and will advance your design skills and practical experience for your architecture registration exam.

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:

• civil engineering
• computer and software systems
• electrical and aerospace engineering
• electrical engineering
• mechanical engineering
• mechatronics
• medical engineering
• chemical process engineering.

Work Integrated Learning (WIL) is embedded in the curriculum and it is a core component for all engineering students. WIL allows you to graduate with a portfolio of professional skills that provides evidence of your professional competencies.

You are required to undertake 60 days of approved work experience in the engineering environment as part of your work integrated learning.

A range of opportunities is available to you in these global industries including careers in architecture project management property development construction civil engineering and urban design.
