Bachelor of Architectural Studies
Nationally Recognised Higher EducationThe UNSW Bachelor of Architectural Studies is a three-year degree when studied full time. In this internationally recognised architecture course, you’ll learn how to design buildings and their surroundings to meet the needs and enhance the experiences of those who inhabit them.
You’ll recognise the practical, ethical and moral responsibilities in architecture and gain the vital skills to lead the way in a rapidly changing profession. You’ll learn how architectural design shapes the sustainability, inclusivity and connectivity of our buildings and cities and impacts our culture and economy.
