Pathway details
An Architecture degree sets you on the path to conceptualise and design buildings, urban configurations and landscapes in response to economic, technical and social needs and desires. At UWA you’ll benefit from intensive teaching with a low student-to-staff ratio in design studios. Practical studies are supported by investigating design communication, sustainable design and historical, theoretical and ethical aspects. You also have the opportunity to exhibit your work at the Cullity Gallery.
