2-Semester Pathway - Foundation Pathway in Architecture - Continue to Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Architecture

From the design of a family home to an entire city, architects shape the world people live in. Students will be introduced to practical art and design skills including developing skills of visual storytelling, image-making both in traditional and digital media, visual language and communication, formulating an independent creative response to a broad range of subject matter. The undergraduate pathway delivers the creative and technical skills needed to to help transform the built environment and succeed in architectural practice. For a hands-on degree, many classes utilise project and portfolio based strategies to help students begin developing their portfolio and find their areas of passion. Students will learn to study design from creative and technical perspectives to help them build projects which are beautiful, sustainable, and user-friendly. Staff are actively engaged in research, and they’ll support students all the way. Plus, there’s the opportunity to go to extracurricular seminars and workshops, which feature guest presentations from specialist academics and researchers. By studying BA (Hons) Architecture at ARU, students will gain the theoretical, technical and design skills to do this – and to work as a professional architect.
