COURSE DESCRIPTION
The Diploma of Design and Architecture prepares you for the complete range of exciting degrees offered by the UTS Faculty of Design and Architecture. Our student community enjoys a connected and collaborative learning environment, with a strong emphasis on practical design skills, creative thinking and concept generation.
There are two distinct streams offered: Architecture and Design. You will have the chance to study a combination of visual and spatial design, while taking core subjects in line with those offered at the UTS School of Architecture and the UTS School of Design.
Our program is packed with opportunities to explore your design passions whether it’s architecture, interiors, animation, graphics, products or fashion. The diploma culminates in a work-ready portfolio and collaborative final exhibition.
Do you want to build your English language skills while you study? Our Extended program offers the same subjects as the standard program, PLUS Academic English or Academic Communication. This is ideal if you want a confidence boost before taking the next step onto a UTS degree.
