Architecture in Australia is a two-part qualification: a three-year Bachelor of Design or Architectural Studies, then a two-year Master of Architecture, which is the professional degree accredited by the Architects Accreditation Council of Australia.
Both stages usually require a portfolio. Registration as an architect needs the accredited master's plus logged practical experience and the Architectural Practice Examination. Fees are in the mid AUD 30,000s at most universities.
Migration angle. Architect is on the skilled occupation lists, assessed by the Architects Accreditation Council of Australia. The full path from study to registration takes several years.

Entry to a postgraduate coursework degree needs a relevant bachelor degree, often with a credit average, and IELTS 6.5.
