    About

    Discover architectural ideas through cutting-edge content. Develop your creativity and gain a practical understanding of the built environment and its relationship with the community through meaningful and sustainable design. This five-year course provides a packaged education pathway for those interested in pursuing architectural professional registration. You will gain practical skills in a studio environment and develop your ability to communicate your design ideas under the guidance of passionate staff.

    From the first year and throughout your studies, you will explore innovative design ideas in response to real-world scenarios and present your ideas for consideration by registered architects. This practical, applied and industry-connected approach to learning ensures you receive feedback and insight into your work from professional practitioners with local and global architecture experience.

    Want to transform your love of architectural design into a rewarding career?

    Articulation of design ideas and defending those in an open forum is a key element of the course, as is development of research and analytical skills and Indigenous knowledge in design. Technical skills development (e.g. AutoCAD) and communication of design through text, graphics and 3D modelling are strategically integrated throughout the course. This enables scaffolded skill development that culminates in demonstration of your advanced design work in the capstone unit in the final year of study.

    Your learning space will be world class, with Deakin's extensive a+b studio - an inspiring open-plan space that enables you to work collaboratively and develop your projects. You will also have access to our purpose-built workshop. This is where 3D printers, laser cutters, CNC routers and traditional tools and machinery are at hand for you to fabricate models and experiment with technology, materials and processes.

        We have a network of experienced authorised agents around the world who can help you through the application process. They are trained to provide advice and information on Deakin University and our degrees. Find out if you need to use a Deakin authorised agent to submit your application.

      • Certify supporting documents

        Most documents need to be certified. For example, award certificates, academic transcripts and your identity papers (passport). Documents in languages other than English will also need to be translated. Take the original document and a photocopy to an authorised person (for example, justice of the peace, public notary, member of the police force or Australian lawyer), to sign.

        Be sure to attach all requested supporting documentation, otherwise your application could be delayed. If you get your application in early, this gives us more time to arrange visas and accommodation if you need them.

      • Submit your application

        Depending on your nationality and country of residence, you can submit your application directly to Deakin through our online international student application service StudyLink Connect or through a Deakin authorised agent.
