Bachelor of Design in Architecture
Overview
The Bachelor of Design in Architecture is focused on learning about design in the built environment. The program is structured around a required set of core units of study, with a range of elective units of study within and outside the faculty.
The Bachelor of Design in Architecture is a three-year full time degree.
The program is designed to provide you with maximum flexibility to allow you to pursue particular interests while participating in the core of the program with its focus on design in the built environment. The program is structured around a required set of core units of study, with a choice of streams and elective units of study within and outside the faculty.
Completion of the Bachelor of Design in Architecture with a credit average will allow for entry into the Master of Architecture, with candidates wishing to proceed to the Master of Architecture also required to complete the elective unit BDES3025 Architectural Professional Practice.
Bachelor of Design in Architecture enrolment guide
The Bachelor of Design in Architecture is a three-year degree, or four years with honours. In order to qualify for the degree, candidates must complete the requirements as specified by the resolutions of Senate and faculty for this degree. All students should read the course resolutions later in this handbook and monitor their progress throughout the degree by reference to them. The following points summarise the resolutions but do not replace them.
Summary of requirements
In order to qualify for the award of the pass degree, candidates:
- must maintain a full-time enrolment (18 credit points or more per semester – a normal full-time load is 24 credit points per semester; the maximum allowed is 30 credit points per semester)
- must complete successfully 144 credit points
- must complete successfully 102 credit points from the core units of study as described in Table A
- must complete successfully at least 12 credit points from the faculty electives as described in Table A
- may complete the requirements for an additional stream as described in Table A
- may complete no more than 24 credit points from units of study offered by other faculties
- must complete successfully the remainder elective units of study from those listed in Table A
- may, with the permission of the unit coordinator concerned, enrol in elective units of study from the faculty's tables of graduate units, provided they have completed at least 96 credit points with a weighted average mark (WAM) of at least 70.
Progression in the Bachelor of Design in Architecture
It is a requirement of the Bachelor of Design in Architecture that you pass ALL core units for the degree. To manage this, the faculty has created a series of thresholds through which you must pass in order to progress to the next stage.
Transition
The faculty recognises that in the first year many students experience difficulty making the transition to tertiary study, which requires much more independence than school study. At the same time, there are knowledge and skills that are essential to the degree that must be mastered before you can progress.
Studio
Studio is central to the Bachelor of Design in Architecture and the teaching is structured in such a way that the knowledge and skills learned in one semester build on those learned in the previous semester. You are required to pass Studio 101 before you will be allowed to proceed to Studio 102 and Studio 201 before you proceed to Studio 202 and so on. A Fail result in any Studio unit will prevent progression to the next unit, causing a 12-month delay in your studies.
Architectural History and Theory, Communications, Technologies and Art Workshop
While Architectural History and Theory, Communications and Technologies and Art Workshop units are core to the degree, they are taught in relatively self-contained ways that complement the work in Studio. If you fail any of these units in first year you will be allowed to progress to second year, BUT you you will still be required to re-enrol in the failed units and pass them in their own right. For example: a pass in Architectural History and Theory 2 will NOT result in a retrospective pass in a failed Architectural History and Theory 1 unit.
Progression to Year 3
You will not be permitted to enrol in Studio 301 unless you have passed ALL first and second year core units. You will not be allowed to proceed to Studio 302 until you have passed Studio 301.
Master of Architecture prerequisite unit of study
Candidates who wish to proceed to the Master of Architecture must include the prerequisite unit of study described in Table A. Other conditions apply to entry to the Master of Architecture, including completing the Bachelor of Design in Architecture with a WAM of at least 65. Intending students should read the information for that degree.
Honours
In order to qualify for the honours degree candidates must satisfy the requirements for the pass degree with a Weighted Average Mark of at least 70 and in addition successfully complete 48 credit points consisting of a research thesis. Honours may only be undertaken on a full-time basis. For more information about honours see the section of this Handbook about undergraduate honours.
Planning your degree
The program has been designed so that the core units should be taken in a certain order and the elective units for the stream fitted with them. Students intending to proceed to the Master of Architecture should complete the prerequisite unit of study in their final year. Students are advised to carefully consider which stream or streams interest them and plan their elective units accordingly.
