Bachelor of Architectural Studies - Pathway to Master of Architecture

Program Overview

Guarantee* your future place in postgraduate studies in architecture through our Pathway to Masters package. Study a Bachelor of Architectural Studies and a professional accredited Master of Architecture, and graduate in five years of full-time study and with the qualifications necessary to seek future registration as an ‘architect’.


What you'll learn

Your undergraduate degree will provide you with the skills and knowledge to understand design principles and methods; building structures and construction systems; digital design and communication methods; sustainable design strategies; and the social and cultural history that shapes our world.

You’ll gain the skills needed to design architectural environments that range in scale and complexity and develop:

  • Research and methodological skills to integrate theoretical, behavioural, environmental, and ethical issues within architectural practice
  • Understanding of the social and political context of architecture
  • Verbal, written, and graphic communication skills, including traditional drawing methods and 2D and 3D computer-based representation skills
  • Conceptual and technical skills to demonstrate a broad understanding of knowledge in contemporary design culture.

The Master of Architecture will advance the skills and knowledge you gain in the undergraduate degree and provide you with the opportunity to develop specific areas of interest. Specialise in a specific area of interest through your choice of electives streams; from Sustainable Design, Design and Construct, Planning and Urban Design, or Construction and Project Management, or choose electives focusing on research, national and international study tours, and industry experience, or research-focused elective studies.

Both degrees have a strong practical focus – in design studio classes you will:

  • Design complex projects informed by contemporary architectural practice and construction
  • Undertake research and hands-on learning through industry-led and practically-focused coursework.

To successfully graduate from the Master degree, you must complete a total of eight core courses (54 units) and four electives (18 units); including advanced design studios that focus on the Environment, Construction, Context, and Integration in addition to research and professional practice coursework that ensures you are career ready.
