Gain an industry advantage
Employers seek out Deakin architecture graduates because they are multi-skilled and have an excellent mix of hands-on practice and theory, with integrated studies in technology and building management. Our unique multidisciplinary approach gives you an industry advantage – experience working with construction management students, just like you will in the real world. We have strong industry links that inform our degrees, and you will have a number of opportunities to gain valuable work experience during your studies.
The most rewarding part of my course is the studio units is exploring my own design ideas and receiving critical feedback from experienced tutors. Deakin's tutors provide a lot of room for individual creativity and encourage students to think outside the box.
