The Tasmania Scholarship Scheme provides financial and academic support to highly ranked local, national and international students. The Faculty of Design consists of the Department of Architecture and Urban Design in Launceston and Hobart. The Faculty offers courses aimed at producing graduates whose creative abilities are developed to a level of competence necessary to practice in the fields of architecture and related design disciplines. The courses incorporate a broad range of activities, all intended to make the immediate environment a better place in which to live and work. To complete the course successfully, students are required to demonstrate competence in the analysis, synthesis, judgement and communication of architectural ideas and solutions, as well as the ability to apply successfully acquired theoretical knowledge, and technical and professional skills.
Building technology covers the study of advanced building systems and contract documentation.
The final semester is devoted to a professional project which involves an in-depth study of a building design. Students must demonstrate brief development, site analysis, information assimilation, building program analysis, synthesis, resolution and documentation. This is not a direct entry course.
