Program Overview
The Architecture degree at UWA prepares students to design and conceptualize buildings, urban areas, and landscapes. With a low student-to-staff ratio in design studios, students receive intensive teaching supported by practical studies, design communication, sustainability, and historical and ethical aspects. To become a registered architect, graduates require a bachelor's degree, a two-year master's degree, and two years of professional practice before passing the Architectural Practice Examination.
