Architecture Pathways

Architects guide, plan and shape the world around us.


Pathway Details

An Architecture degree sets you on the path to conceptualise and design buildings, urban configurations and landscapes in response to economic, technical and social needs and desires. At UWA you’ll benefit from intensive teaching with a low student-to-staff ratio in design studios. Practical studies are supported by investigating design communication, sustainable design and historical, theoretical and ethical aspects. You also have the opportunity to exhibit your work at the Cullity Gallery.


Graduate Architect

To become a graduate architect, you need to study a minimum of 5 years.


Pathways for Mature-Age Students

If you will be aged 20 years or older on 1 March (for Semester 1 entry) or 1 August (for Semester 2 entry) you qualify for our mature-age-entry pathways.
