Course Details

Bachelor of Architectural Design

Course Description

Architectural Design is the first stage of our five-year Bachelor/Master professional qualification in architecture. Successful completion of the Bachelor degree guarantees access into the Master of Architecture course at Monash. Over half of your study is undertaken through Architecture design studios where you will investigate ideas and experiment with design processes, mentored by academics and architects from around the world. You will work with various media to test design ideas and critically observe their implications in class and in the community. Very high achieving domestic students can apply to be admitted to the Scholars Program. Architectural Design Scholars complete the same academic program as other students in the Bachelor of Architectural Design, but also have access to a range of development opportunities that provide an edge in industry. Scholars will be personally mentored by a leading architect and provided with the opportunity to participate in a leadership workshop series. Architectural Design Scholars (who must be Australian or New Zealand citizens or holders of an Australian permanent resident or permanent humanitarian visa) will also receive an annual scholarship while they remain in the Scholars Program.
