The Faculty aims to produce professionals skilled in investigation, analysis, problem-solving and communication who are motivated to contribute significantly to professional and community life.
As the first part of their training, students undertake the Bachelor of Planning and Design (BPD) degree course, a three-year (minimum) pre-professional program in either architecture or building.
Most of the subjects taken at BPD level in architecture and building are compulsory but there is scope to take a wide range of subjects outside these disciplines. An honours program in fourth year is offered to students who have done particularly well in the BPD (Building). The courses are offered only on a full-time basis.
The BPD provides students with foundation studies in their chosen discipline. To gain a professional qualification, graduates of the BPD must continue their studies in an appropriate post-BPD course at either bachelor or master's level.
Applications for entry to the post-BPD professional courses are also accepted from students who have completed studies elsewhere. Architecture applicants are expected to have completed studies equivalent to the BPD at a recognised school of architecture. Building applicants should normally have completed studies equivalent to the BPD, but may also be considered on the basis of related studies. Both architecture and building applicants require appropriate work experience. For landscape architecture and urban planning, applicants may be graduates of the BPD or another appropriate degree. In cases where a student's qualifications are deficient for direct entry to a post-BPD professional course, preliminary studies of up to one full-time year may be available to compensate for the deficiency.
Entry to the master's programs is normally subject to applicants having achieved an average of 70% in their last year of full-time study. Application for entry to all post-BPD courses must be made through the Faculty Office.
The academic requirements for professional qualification in each discipline are:
Architecture: Completion of the BPD (Architecture) ( three years), one year of approved practical experience, and the Bachelor of Architecture (BArch) (two years).
Building or Quantity Surveying: Completion of the BPD (Building) (three years) and the Bachelor of Building (BBldg) (one year), or the BPD(Hons) (four years) and the Master of Building (MBldg) by coursework (one year full time, two years part time). All students must complete one year of approved practical training before entering the post-BPD course.
Environmental Planning: Completion of the BPD(Hons) (four years) or the Master of Environmental Studies (MEnvS) by coursework - last intake was in 1994 (two years full time, four years part time).
Landscape Architecture: Completion of the BPD(Hons) (four years) and the Master of Landscape Architecture (MLArch) by coursework (one year full time, two years part time).
Urban Planning: Completion of the BPD(Hons) (four years) and the Master of Urban Planning (MUP) by coursework (one year full time, two years part time), or the BPD (Planning) (three years) and the Bachelor of Town and Regional Planning (BTRP) (one year).
The Faculty maintains close links with five professional institutes, each of which recognises and accredits academic qualifications awarded by the Faculty. They are the Australian Institute of Building, Australian Institute of Landscape Architects, Australian Institute of Quantity Surveyors, Royal Australian Institute of Architects, and Royal Australian Planning Institute.
Research activity is maintained at a high level, covering key areas such as planning and design, construction and cost management, history and conservation of the built and natural environments.
Master's degrees by research can be taken in architecture, building, environmental studies, landscape architecture, and town and regional planning. Candidates are expected to complete a major research study and prepare a thesis based on the research project.
Architecture master's candidates may choose to present design work as a part of their research. In all cases, only applicants with an appropriate academic background are admitted. In some cases preliminary studies may be approved as a bridging course for students of other disciplines.
Further information about master's degrees by both coursework and research should be sought from the Faculty Office.
Note: The last intake for the BPD (Planning) was in 1994. The planning program offers returning and continuing students three streams of study: environmental studies, landscape architecture, and urban planning. Students of planning must choose to major in one of these streams in the second year of their course. A combined course of Bachelor of Arts/BPD(Planning) is also offered. Students of planning may obtain the two degrees in five full-time years of study. (Normally, each degree requires three years of study.) The last intake for the Bachelor of Arts/BPD (Planning) was in 1994. The combined course requirements are set out in the section following the BPD (Planning) program.
Architecture and building students undertake a common first semester in the first year of their BPD and take common core subjects in every year of their respective courses. The flexible structure of the BPD (Architecture) course allows students to gain experience of the wider professional and cultural context of architectural practice by taking subjects in landscape architecture, urban planning, and design. Students, through their choice of these options, are able to avoid up to a semester of preliminary subjects that are currently required of BPD (Architecture) graduates who want to gain entry into the Master of Landscape Architecture (MLArch) and the Master of Urban Planning (MUP).
Graduates of the BPD (Architecture) course who have obtained the required standard in their BPD pass degree may choose to undertake a combined professional degree in architecture and building, the BArch/BBldg. Alternatively, they may choose to pursue professional careers in building, landscape architecture, or urban planning by enrolling directly in the BBldg, MLArch, or MUP degree courses. These professionally recognised courses are generally of two years duration (and may require further preliminary studies). BPD (Architecture) graduates may also choose to undertake the BArch followed by the MUP or the MLArch, completing the second professional degree with as little as one year of additional academic study.

To graduate BArch, students are required to complete 25 points of approved history subjects by the end of the BArch course, which will be undertaken as elective subjects. However, BPD (Architecture) graduates who have completed more than 37.5 points of approved history subjects may apply for exemption from this requirement in respect of any additional history subjects completed as part of the BPD (Architecture), and undertake the additional points as elective subjects instead.
Contextual and complementary studies:
BArch students are required to use the electives available in the BArch course (totalling up to 62.5 points) to complement their architectural studies. By the conclusion of the first semester of the course, each student will be expected to have developed an approved program of studies for these electives. When developing these elective programs, students - with the approval of the Dean - may choose subjects offered in other faculties (including second language subjects). When developing a program of BArch elective studies, students should be guided by the subject lists published by the Faculty for this purpose.
The elective program in the BArch also permits architecture students to undertake subjects in the MUP and the MLArch. With appropriate course planning, BArch graduates will be able to complete a professionally accredited MUP or MLArch in one additional year of academic study. Electives also provide pathways into research. Appropriately prepared BArch graduates should then be able to complete the MArch research degree (either by thesis or by design) in as little as one full-time calendar year.
Having the two professional degrees allows graduates to combine the architecture course's strengths in design with the building course's strengths in management. The career opportunities for graduates with professional accreditation in both architecture and building are considerable. Graduates can operate at a much more effective level of professionalism as either architects or as builders, or as architect/builders; and they can also follow careers in the field of project management, and in package building (such as turn-key operations and design and construction).
Admission to the course is open to graduates of both the BPD (Architecture) and BPD (Building) courses who have achieved an average grade of H3 (65%) or above in the 3rd year of the BPD. Graduates of the BPD (Building) will also need to have completed a recommended architecture design subject as one of their electives, and graduates of the BPD (Architecture) will need to have completed the subject 306-102 Accounting Concepts as their elective. A minimum of a year of logged work experience in the building industry (architecture and/or building) must be undertaken before admission to the BArch/BBldg. For entry from other institutions, applicants will need to hold a similar qualification and may be required to undertake preliminary studies.
The course is of three years duration including a program of prescribed preliminary subjects totalling 100 points. On successful completion of the preliminary year, students will be enrolled in the two-year BArch/BBldg course set out below.

The MPD is a generic degree which provides opportunities for graduates to undertake programs in urban design and industrial design (when introduced) as well as conservation, project management, and facilities planning and management. Students will be able to undertake many of these postgraduate programs as a master's by research.
The Graduate Diploma in Facility Planning and Management is a two-year, part-time course, and the Graduate Certificate in Facility Studies is a one-year, part-time course. For entry into either of these courses, a tertiary qualification is desirable but not essential. All applicants, however, must have industry background experience.
There are three major studies in the building program - building technology, construction management and cost management. Building technology covers the characteristics of materials and structures, the design of structural elements, construction detailing, the performance of building services such as air-conditioning, building methods and equipment, and land surveying. Construction management deals with business administration, industrial relations, law and contracts, and project management. Cost management includes economics, accounting, estimating, life-cycle costing, property investment analysis, and quantity surveying.
A professionally accredited qualification in building takes a minimum of five years. The Bachelor of Planning and Design (Building) is the pre-professional degree leading to entry into the BBldg. It is a three-year, full-time course. On completing the BPD (Building), students who wish to pursue a career in building are required to undertake a period of practical work experience. They may then enrol in the one-year BBldg course - the professional degree recognised by the Australian Institute of Building and the Australian Institute of Quantity Surveyors.
BPD (Building) students who elect to undertake the BPD(Hons) course can also complete in five years the mandatory requirement for work experience and a professionally accredited MBldg.
Alternatively, graduates of the BPD (Building) course who have obtained the required standard in their BPD pass degree may choose to undertake a combined professional degree in architecture and building, the BArch/BBldg.

The academic requirements for membership of the Australian Institute of Quantity Surveyors are satisfied by completing the following subject as the elective:
702-483 Advanced Quantity Surveying 12.5
The graduate diploma is normally a one-year, full-time course of 100 points. Upon successful completion of the course with at least a grade average of 70%, applicants may apply for entry into the Master of Building.
Please note: The graduate diploma on its own does not satisfy the professional requirements of the Australian Institute of Building or the Australia Institute of Quantity Surveyors.
Candidates who enrol in the MBldg will need to have undertaken a minimum of a year of practical experience in the building industry to complete the requirements for membership of the Australian Institute of Building.
Candidates who have completed the BPD (Building) (Hons) degree, as noted above, may enrol in the MBldg by coursework to meet the academic requirements for membership of the Australian Institute of Building or the Australian Institute of Quantity Surveyors.
Please note that a series of changes in this program are currently being implemented. In summary these changes are as follows:
Bachelor of Planning and Design (Pass or Honours) - last intake 1994
Graduate Diploma in Planning and Design (Environmental Studies)
Master of Environmental Studies- last intake 1994
The emphasis in Environmental Studies is on environmental planning and management. The courses offered aim to give graduates the necessary understanding and skills for working in these areas.Students learn how society uses the natural world to satisfy its needs, how the use of it is constrained by its limitations, and how human manipulation of the natural environment has caused environmental stresses which are often cumulative and compounding in their effects.
They discover that although conservation and development are both ways of satisfying human needs, they are not necessarily in conflict and can be complementary. The courses develop skills in applying the multidisciplinary approaches necessary to tackle these complex problems.
In the Environmental Studies stream of the three-year BPD, students are encouraged to apply their knowledge to solve problems in new areas. Much time is devoted to project work and emphasis is placed on helping students to take initiative.
Graduates are qualified to work in environmental planning and management with private firms or government ministries and statutory authorities.
Students who obtain the required standard in their pass BPD degree are permitted to enrol for an additional honours year of the BPD. Honours students doing environmental studies focus on economic, social, environmental and resource evaluation; policy development; and decision-making in areas of conflict. The work includes individual research projects in which students tackle specific problems and report on their findings.
BPD(Hons) graduates have much to offer private and government sectors in environmental planning and management and can expect to move quickly into creative and demanding jobs in these areas.
Students taking the BPD pass degree in environmental studies will normally complete the program listed below. Note that all planning students study common subjects in first year. Choice of specialisation in one of the three planning disciplines (environmental studies, landscape architecture or urban planning) occurs in second year.

The DipPD(EnvS) provides a program of advanced studies by coursework in environmental analysis and management for graduates from the above range of disciplines.
The MEnvS may be taken by coursework or by research (by submission of a major thesis). The coursework degree may be completed over two years full time or four years part time, with at least 200 points of study approved by the Faculty.
A four-year honours degree or equivalent is normally required for direct entry into the MEnvS program. Students with a pass degree should first complete the DipPD(EnvS) - see below - which also replaces the former preliminary studies requirement. To be eligible to proceed to the second year of the MEnvS it is necessary to achieve a minimum honours level (70% average) in the DipPD. Students who have completed the BPD(Hons) in Environmental Studies may also complete the MEnvS program in one year.
The DipPD(EnvS) consists of 100 points of coursework over one year full time, or two years part time. Applicants with a three-year or four-year pass degree in an appropriate field may be admitted to this course. The graduate diploma may also be entered as a stepping stone to a master's course. Students require a minimum honours-level pass in the DipPD(EnvS) to be eligible to continue in the final year of the MEnvS program.
The DipPD(EnvS) course and the BPD(Hons) year are both similar to the first year of the MEnvS course, except that for BPD(Hons) students an honours research project replaces the electives. Second-year MEnvS students take the subject Environmental Evaluation and Management, together with three further elective studies, and undertake a group research project (incorporating a substantial individual component) involving a multi-disciplinary approach to a program in environmental planning or management.
Further information about the master's degree by coursework or research, or the graduate diploma may be obtained from the Faculty Office.
Graduate Diploma in Planning and Design (Landscape Architecture) Master of Landscape Architecture
Master of Planning and Design
Landscape Architecture involves the planning, design and management of the natural and built environment.Landscape architects work with open spaces and manufactured and natural materials including soils, landforms and plants. They try to understand how urban, rural and natural landscapes are evolving, and the interaction between people and nature. They learn how people use different spaces, and plan and design public areas, malls, riversides, boulevards and parklands.
Students learn how to simulate changes using computers to predict more accurately their potential impact. Exposure is also given to complementary skills in urban planning and environmental analysis and planning.
