COURSE DESCRIPTION
Architecture is more than just art and technology. At the University of Newcastle our graduates are challenged to explore their potential as agents for change.
They don’t just design and shape the physical spaces of our cities and buildings; they use architecture to 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 live projects, you’ll develop design principles that emphasise social, economic and environmental sustainability and become a consultative problem solver. More than half of your degree is dedicated to architecture studio work, working on a range of practical and often ‘live’ projects.
Course overview
Spend more time in the studio! More than half of your design courses are spent in the architecture studio.
In your courses you’ll learn about:
the architectural site as a landscape
construction and detailing of buildings
sustainable design practices
communication in the built environment
construction technology and ecology
making conceptual and realistic models in our workshop
Career opportunities
Upon completion of this degree, graduates may work in private architectural practice. Others may work in industries such as government, overseas aid and support, infrastructure planning research, journalism, criticism, or restoration and conservation.
