The Bachelor of Architecture (Hons) course (TU832 ) prepares students for the practice of architecture. Architecture is the art and science of designing space. This course will suit you if you’ve got a creative aptitude for architectural design, the ability to implement your designs in practice, are interested in artistic and cultural aspects of society, and have an aptitude for technical and managerial challenges.
A five-year course, it covers topics such as design studio, the history of theory and criticism of architecture, environment, construction, visual and digital communications, computer applications and law.
The learning environment in Architecture is different from most degrees. We learn in our studios, in our gallery, through conversations, through vertical projects, and by drawing and making things. Most of your student experience will focus on studio-based design projects, which allow you to design buildings and explore the urban and rural context. Throughout the course, there’s a strong emphasis on studio work and exploring the student’s understanding of architecture.
