Stage2 - Diploma of Built Environment - Architecture and Construction, Leading to Bachelor of Applied Science in Architectural Science

Program Overview

Students who have already completed Year 12 (or equivalent) may start with the Stage 2 Diploma, which has the same course content and structure as year one of the corresponding Curtin University undergraduate degree. Upon completion of your Diploma, you will progress directly into the second year of your Curtin University Bachelor's degree program.


Stage2 - Diploma of Built Environment - Architecture and Construction
The Diploma of Built Environment provides entry into three different career paths:

  • Architectural Science - Learn about building design and construction. Discover how architecture relates to people and how they live. Learn about the communication of architectural ideas.
  • Interior Architecture - Learn how to design quality environments and coordinate the design and construction of building interiors for a diverse range of environments.
  • Construction Management - Learn how physical elements create a structure, calculate construction costs and manage construction projects.


Leading to: Bachelor of Applied Science (Architectural Science)

The architecture combines creative practices of architectural design with the cultural, social, technical and sustainability issues of the built environment. In this course you will study the relationship between the natural and constructed environment, the architectural proposition and the occupation of space.

Curtin's architecture students benefit from valuable industry experiences. For example, design company GHDWoodhead and government entity Water Corporation have both provided hands-on design opportunities to Curtin students.

Course structure
You will study core units and specialise in one of the following:

  • Construction Management
  • Design Thinking and Visual Communication
  •  Designing Fashion
  •  Interior Architecture
  • Principles of Planning
  • Animation and Game Architecture Design.


What you'll learn

  • Demonstrate an understanding of the broad discipline of architecture, its theoretical underpinnings, and ways of thinking; the ability to apply specific discipline knowledge contained within the streams of Architectural Design, Science and Technology, Architecture and Culture and Design Communication
  • Think critically, creatively and reflectively in order to analyse and understand the diverse needs of various parties involved in architecture in order to generate and create innovative solutions
  • Conduct appropriate scholarly and professional research to access and analyse the diverse information needed to make informed, strategic design decisions
  • Communicate information and ideas to diverse audience through visual, verbal and written communication techniques
  • Demonstrate ability to recognise and understand the principles of a range of appropriate technologies and their suitable application within the discipline of architecture
  • Possess a sustained intellectual curiosity that constantly strives, through self-directed learning, for innovation within the profession of architecture
  • Have an awareness and ability to synthesize a range of local, national and international issues and perspectives which influence architecture
  • Understand and value cultural and physical diversity and appreciate its significance in the creation of architecture
