Advanced Diploma in Architectural Technology

Program Overview

As our natural and built environments change, we need good design and technical solutions to better our world. In our three-year Architectural Technology advanced diploma program, you'll gain practical skills in our interactive studios while using up-to-date equipment and software. We'll give you the tools you need to work on projects ranging from new construction to alterations and renovations in the residential, commercial, industrial, and high-rise sectors of the Architectural, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry.

This exciting program prepares you to apply the current practices of the AEC industry, including:

  • Building design
  • Environmentally conscious and sustainable design
  • Materials, methods, and components
  • Sustainability
  • Building codes and regulations
  • Building science
  • Practice management
  • Technical writing
  • Specifications
  • Cost planning
  • Digital project delivery
  • Digital technologies
  • Computational design

Not only will you develop a solid knowledge base and technical understanding of how buildings are designed and made, you'll also learn about the digital tools, platforms, and processes used in the industry, like Computer-Aided Drafting (CAD), Digital Project Delivery (DPD), Building Information Modelling (BIM), and 3D Visualization and Digital Modelling.

With your project-specific Studio courses, where you apply all your knowledge and skills to a large-scale project, you'll practice one of the top skills industry leaders look for: collaboration. In Studios, you'll work in teams within a simulated office environment to complete projects involving proposals, designs, and construction documents for both new and existing facilities.

Note: If you enrol in the program in January, you must complete semester 2 in the summer (May to August) of the same year to continue into semester 3 in the fall.
