Studying architecture from day one, Deakin students become sought-after built environment professionals who are able to cross professional boundaries.
Deakin’s Architecture program comprises two degrees taken over five years: the three-year Bachelor of Design (Architecture) followed by the two-year Master of Architecture.
At Deakin, students learn to explore ideas imaginatively, to develop their own potential to design beautiful environments for private and public living. Sustainable architecture is essential for cities to provide for the future. Deakin’s special research in this area supports the Architecture program.
Architecture students at Deakin have the distinct advantage of taking some classes with Construction Management and Facilities Management students, where they learn to work with allied professions in the building industry from an early stage. This experience equips students with the skills for working effectively in professional life.

It is located just minutes’ walk from the central train station, 50 minutes by car or train from Melbourne, and only 15 minutes’ drive from Victoria’s famous Surf Coast. The school is housed in a stunning, heritage-listed complex that has received three Royal Australian Institute of Architecture awards for conservation, merit and recycling.
An expansive, modern design studio with 24-hour access, a new virtual studio and a high end computer research laboratory at Deakin’s Waterfront Campus offer students the opportunity to use the latest technology and equipment in their studies – including Bentley Software Systems, the world’s largest supplier of architecture software, which selected Deakin to be the Australian home of its software. Other facilities include an extensive resource centre, photographic darkrooms and workshop. Students’ work is exhibited in the school’s gallery overlooking Corio Bay.
Deakin students have the opportunity to enrich their tertiary experience by becoming involved in an international exchange as part of their course work. Students have recently taken part in exchanges to countries including Finland, Germany, Sweden, Italy, Hong Kong, the UK, the USA and Mexico.
