Graduates of a Bachelor of Architectural Studies will have a broad and coherent body of knowledge, with depth
in the underlying architectural principles and concepts that serve as a basis for involvement through various
stages of a building project, from its design and documentation through to its construction and beyond.
Graduates will develop research and methodological skills to integrate theoretical, technological, behavioural,
environmental and ethical issues within architectural practice; cognitive and creative skills to develop the design
of buildings of a range of scales and complexities in their environmental, social and political context; verbal,
written and graphic communication skills including traditional drawing methods and computer based
representation; cognitive and technical skills to demonstrate a broad understanding of knowledge in
contemporary design culture, with an emphasis on current architectural practice internationally and in Australia.
The students will complete 108 units of study with Year 1 and Year 2 establishing basic skills and concepts in
design theory, creativity, environmental awareness, communication and technology, and Year 3 developing
competence in core subject streams.
From 4 August 2025, the University of South Australia will no longer be accepting applications for new students. Study at Adelaide University.
