Bachelor of Architecture - Australia

Australia

Architectural education in Australia varies depending on the university offering the course. All Australian Architecture schools and programs have recently moved to some variation on the 3 + 2 Bologna model, with a 3 year undergraduate degree, followed by a 2 year course-work based Master of Architecture professional degree. Some universities also require 6–12 months of practice work experience between the 2 degrees. Registration as an architect is via state-based boards and requires a minimum of 2 years practice experience under the supervision of a registered architect. In addition there are double degrees offered by many universities, such as those combining architecture with construction or landscape architecture. Some universities also offer Masters programs in Architecture via coursework or research. Many architecture faculties offer related programs in landscape architecture, urban planning, urban design, property and construction. Entry to Australian architecture programs is highly competitive and the proportion of students at some architecture schools from outside Australia is very high, up to 40%.

Famous quotes containing the word australia:

    “It is very considerably smaller than Australia and British Somaliland put together. As things stand at present there is nothing much the Texans can do about this, and ... they are inclined to shy away from the subject in ordinary conversation, muttering defensively about the size of oranges.”
    —Alex Atkinson, British humor writer. repr. In Present Laughter, ed. Alan Coren (1982)

    “I like Australia less and less. The hateful newness, the democratic conceit, every man a little pope of perfection.”
    —D.H. (David Herbert)
