Overview

Bachelor of Design in Architecture

The Bachelor of Design in Architecture at UTS is the first of two degrees needed to become an architect. 

Students qualifying for professional recognition as architects must also complete the Master of Architecture.

Through the Bachelor of Design in Architecture, students learn what it means to be an architect in a globalised world. 

This is achieved by focusing on how the profession can shape global cities through complex spatial thinking.

UTS takes a hands-on approach to digital design and fabrication. 

Students learn the software, materials, and model-making skills required to translate thought into form right from the start. 

They can work on real-life projects and engage with stakeholders such as the Powerhouse Museum, ABC, Sydney Harbour Foreshore Authority (SHFA), and Sydney Olympic Park Authority.

Students are globally connected, with opportunities to study in, work in or visit cities such as Berlin, Los Angeles, New York and Tokyo. 

Through guest lectures, students hear from international experts and are connected to global competitions and scholarships, such as the Cosentino Design Challenge or the Frank Gehry internship program.

Its staff are actively engaged in the industry as practitioners, researchers, and commentators, while its 24-hour studios are always abuzz with students who live and breathe architecture.
