Architecture is more than just art and technology. At the University of Newcastle our graduates are challenged to explore their potential as agents for change.
They don’t just design and shape the physical spaces of our cities and buildings; they use architecture to stimulate the places we live and work, engage the community and improve our world.
Learn in the state’s newest creative innovation centre – Newcastle. Through live projects, you’ll develop design principles that emphasise social, economic and environmental sustainability and become a consultative problem solver. More than half of your degree is dedicated to architecture studio work, working on a range of practical and often ‘live’ projects.
