Architecture is more than just art and technology. Our graduates explore their potential as agents for change.

They don’t just design and shape the physical spaces of our cities and buildings. They stimulate the places we live and work, engage the community and improve our world.

Learn in the state’s newest creative innovation centre – Newcastle. Through practical ‘live’ projects, you’ll develop design principles that emphasise social, economic and environmental sustainability. You will also become a consultative problem solver. More than half of your degree is dedicated to architecture studio work.

In your courses you’ll learn about:
