Bachelor of Applied Science (Architectural Science)

The Bachelor of Applied Science (Architectural Science) is not itself an accredited professional qualification, but it serves as a direct pathway to the two-year accredited Master of Architecture. To work as an architect in Australia, you must be registered with the Architects' Board of your state or territory. Curtin's Master of Architecture program provides a pathway to registration when combined with the required professional experience and completion of the Architectural Practice Examination.

The guaranteed ATAR for the Bachelor of Applied Science (Architectural Science) at Curtin University is 70. If you achieve this ATAR/selection rank and meet all other entry requirements, you are guaranteed a place in this course.

You must meet Curtin's English language requirements for this course. The required IELTS Academic scores are: Overall band score of 6.5, with a minimum of 6 in each of the Writing, Speaking, Reading, and Listening components.

Throughout your studies, you'll benefit from engagement with industry practitioners and guest lecturers.

You may also have opportunities for immersive industry experiences with organisations such as GHDWoodhead, Water Corporation, and Woods Bagot, Cox and Hassell consultants.
