QUT is ranked as one of the top 100 universities in the world for architecture and built environment (QS World University Rakings by Subject 2023) and we are proud to have Queensland’s most in-demand architecture degree (QTAC first preferences 2022).

 

With a strong reputation in the industry, our graduates are in high demand. The percentage of our graduates who secure full-time employment is among the highest in the country (Graduate Outcomes Survey 2019-2021 / Australian Taxation Office 2017-18 financial year), and our graduates have the highest starting salaries of all Brisbane architecture graduates.

 

You will begin with introductory and shared impact lab units where, working with students from other disciplines, you’ll focus on problems and social issues and identify potential solutions connected to industry and community. Your introductory studies will also introduce you to visualisation skills and applications needed to formulate design as an exploration of the materials of the built environment.

 

Your studies will then build on these foundations and explore areas including environmental principles and the global movement of modern architecture with design studio units covering the process of design, dwelling, tectonics and public spaces.

 

Later in your degree you will be able to transfer skills and knowledge to a workplace or professional context and gain practical work experience with work integrated learning.
