Graduate Diploma in Architecture
Bond University, Gold Coast, QLD, Australia
About this program
A graduate diploma that sits within Bond's architecture pathway, roughly two semesters of design studios and supporting subjects, taken after a bachelor's degree in architecture or design. It is an intermediate qualification rather than the professional endpoint: registration as an architect in Australia requires the accredited Master of Architecture, into which this diploma articulates with full credit. Students work in the Abedian School of Architecture with 24-hour studio access. It suits students who need a bridging or staging point between an undergraduate design degree and the professional master's, or who want a postgraduate architecture qualification without immediately committing to the full master's.
