This program provides a foundation in the design, measurement and theory of audio and acoustics, as well as an understanding of the way sound shapes our experience of communication, entertainment, and spatial awareness.
The program is ideal for audio engineers, architects, interior designers, sustainability designers, music-industry professionals and graduates of the Bachelor of Architecture and Environments who wish to build their expertise in audio and acoustics.
A successful applicant for admission to the Graduate Diploma in Architectural Science (Audio & Acoustics) will have a bachelor's degree or will have completed the Graduate Certificate in Architectural Science (Audio & Acoustics) with an average mark of 70 per cent. This program can be taken with a secondary stream in combination with another Architectural Science Program. To undertake a double degree, the core units from the secondary degree are generally taken as the electives in the primary degree. Please see the Faculty Handbook for enrolment advice for secondary stream structure, and apply through the specific double specialisation course page. Many Architectural Science units are taught as `block-modeintensive classes, delivered over four to six full days, of which some fall on weekends to accommodate full-time working students. Some units however may be delivered in weekly lecture format. Students may apply to upgrade at the completion of their program from the Graduate Certificate, through to the Diploma and then to the Masters by maintaining a credit average over the course of study. Masters and Diploma students may also opt to graduate with a lower level of certification once the required units are complete. Please note that students may commence studies in Semester 2, however some courses are only available in part-time capacity due to the units on offer.
For more information about the University’s credit policy, please see the Credit for Previous Studies page.
The skills and knowledge developed in this course could lead to career opportunities in audio production, system design and environmental acoustic consulting.
Many students use this program to build high technical capabilities on their broader creative or professional background, particularly in building acoustics and audio systems.
