About this course

Who is this program for?

The Diploma Program has been designed specifically for international students. Our Diplomas make it easy to adjust to university, with:

  • smaller classes and at least 20% extra teaching time

  • additional English and academic skill support

  • course material equivalent to First Year courses within the UNSW Sydney degree, and

  • access to the same facilities and resources as undergraduate students.

With an innovative First Year equivalent curriculum, you will gain the introductory knowledge you need for further study in Architecture, and a career in Built Environment.

Why study architecture at UNSW Sydney?

Architecture is about exploring and redefining what place means to people. As an emerging architect at UNSW, you will focus on the physical form of design, and the elevated thinking that supports it. You will learn how to design buildings and settings that will influence and benefit the future of individuals and communities within them. You will also learn how to address every angle in this process, taking wider sustainability, cultural and economic needs into consideration.

Our teaching staff include experienced academics in an inclusive, collaborative learning environment. With their guidance, you will develop the design skills and technical knowledge to establish impactful careers and influence the industry's future.
