Introductory comments
This 3-year degree course is available, full time, on-campus by the Faculty of Science and

Admission & prerequisites
The Faculty considers for admission students who have a broad academic background and
a demonstrated interest in, commitment to and aptitude for design.
Apart from the University’s general admission requirements, there are no additional
prerequisites for the BEnvDes degree. HSC/TCE subjects preferably should not be
restricted to a narrow discipline, but rather span two or more areas (eg art and science).
A limited number of quota places is available to applicants who do not meet the normal
University entry requirements. Such applicants will be required to attend an interview and
present a folio of creative work and/or demonstrate skills and knowledge that suggest
they could successfully undertake the course.
Course objectives
The Bachelor of Environmental Design is seen primarily as a pre-professional course and
thus aims to produce graduates whose creative abilities are developed to a level of
competence necessary to gain admission to the Bachelor of Environmental Design with
Honours, Bachelor of Architecture, and equivalent courses in the fields of architecture,
town planning and related design areas. Examples of other areas in which students have
continued their studies include: Landscape Architecture, Design Education, Building,
Environmental Studies, Urban Design and Conservation.
Career outcomes
In order to gain work experience and skills in preparation for further studies, graduates of
this course may find employment as professional assistants in professional offices, in local,
in state or in national government offices.
Professional recognition
The course is a prerequisite for entry to the Bachelor of Architecture, which fulfils the
academic requirements for membership of the Royal Australian Institute of Architects.

The course structure is outlined in the following Schedule.
