Architects combine creative vision, innovation, technological understanding and architectural theory to shape how we live, work and play in our built environment. As an architect, you will deal directly with many of the complex challenges facing our world, and will be at the forefront of change and issues of sustainability and resource scarcity.
Design lies at the heart of the architectural process, and you will learn to develop your designs using modelling and rendering techniques through studio-based classes and virtual and physical modelling.
Architects don’t work in isolation from the other parts of the building industry and from society more generally, so the unique Bachelor of Environments program has been designed to ensure our students have the opportunity to experience how architects work with property developers, urban planners, engineers and construction managers, developing the skills to work within the large project teams that are now a common part of many architectural projects.
You could work in a specialist architectural practice, or in a diverse firm offering a full service across a range of projects with many different environmental considerations. You can work within Australia, or alongside numerous graduates who have built careers in many countries around the globe.
CAREER OUTCOMES
Once you graduate from the Bachelor of Environments, you can enter the workforce and join architecture or construction teams to provide specialist assistance on large projects or continue your studies in the Master of Architecture to meet the academic requirements to become an accredited architect.
“The best part of the program for me was the subjects that changed my perception of what architecture can be."

Urban designers and planners are actively engaged with some of the pressing issues of our time, including the impact of climate change, sustainable resourcing challenges, and the pressures of increased urbanisation.
Urban design is the art of making places, and is a collaborative process that shapes the physical setting for life in urban areas. Urban planning focuses on the intersection of the built environment and the public interest. Together they explore the design and planning of public and private spaces, focusing on the importance of design and planning within the social, environmental, aesthetic and economic contexts.
Urban planners work to positively influence environmental sustainability, economic resilience and social equity in cities and towns. Urban designers examine the design of buildings and groups of buildings, spaces and landscapes, including the frameworks and processes that facilitate successful development of these cities and towns.
These are broad and challenging disciplines that benefit from vision and innovation and can lead to globally influential careers.
CAREER OUTCOMES
Once you graduate from the Bachelor of Environments, you can enter the workforce or continue on to the accredited programs, Master of Urban
Design, or the Master of Urban Planning, to gain a professional qualification.
Graduates work for urban design, architecture and planning practices as well as state and local government, where they are instrumental in developing, planning designing, communicating and delivering urban spaces.
“The best part of the program is learning how planning is actually a really good mixture of design, people, the environment, property and place making – and you need to learn about all these areas to be a successful planner.”
