Bachelor of Design (Architecture)

Design the world around you Architecture is more than art and technology. At the University of Newcastle, learn to design spaces that shape communities.

From day one, you’ll work in a collaborative studio with 24/7 access. You’ll create and develop your ideas alongside your peers. Through hands-on, project-based learning, you’ll tackle real-world challenges and build strong design portfolio. You’ll explore how architecture responds to climate challenges and supports diverse communities. You’ll learn to design with purpose, with a strong focus on sustainability and respect for Country. Graduate ready to make an impact. Combine creativity, technical skills and a commitment to shaping better futures through architecture. Spend more time in the studio! More than half of your design courses are spent in the architecture studio. Hear from Anthony and Holly at EJE Architecture as they discuss how architecture graduates from the University of Newcastle are helping push their business forward. Our students also engage in live projects and exhibit their work publicly at our graduate exhibition, which is an opportunity to showcase work to industry and the local community. While studying architecture, Sage is already gaining hands-on industry experience and building creative and practical skills for a future career in design. Balancing study, work and family life, Sarah is building a new career in architecture while developing practical skills and strong academic results. From studio projects to international study, Mackenzie is developing a global perspective on architecture and how design can respond to place, culture and community. After a career in construction and design, John is applying real-world experience to his architecture studies, developing practical skills and tackling complex design challenges.
