Bachelor of Architectural Studies
UNSW Sydney, Sydney, NSW, Australia
About this program
The first stage of UNSW's architecture pathway, leading toward the Master of Architecture for accreditation as a registered architect, taught through the Built Environment faculty with design studio as the backbone of every year rather than a single subject among many. Studio culture at UNSW leans toward digital fabrication and computational design, and the faculty's fabrication workshops give students hands-on model-making and prototyping access that shapes how design projects get assessed.
Sydney's architecture and construction industry provides the backdrop for a lot of studio briefs, and the degree includes history, theory, and technology subjects alongside the studio sequence so graduates aren't purely design-focused going into the Masters.
