why design, architecture & building at uts?
WHY design, architecture & building AT UTS? Leaders in career-relevant education With our global, practice-based learning model, UTS is a recognised leader in teaching and learning. In 2011, we received a five star rating from QS, in recognition of world-class achievements across a broad range of areas, internationally renowned research and teaching, and cutting edge facilities. Many of our lecturers are leaders in their areas of expertise, and many are active in professional practice. This means you’ll be exposed to the most relevant and up-to-date knowledge and skills in your field. Practice-based degrees Learning the theory is important, but the real value lies in knowing how to apply it. Many assessments are based on realworld case studies and we encourage students to take advantage of our strong industry partnerships to undertake work experience as part of their degree. This practical approach means our students graduate with the skills, knowledge and hands-on experience sought by employers worldwide. What you learn at UTS will not only help you land a graduate job – it will build the skills you need to adapt and grow throughout your career. Industry networks More than 150 companies partner with UTS, sharing their resources and expertise in our research and innovative programs, and many offer employment opportunities for our best graduates. From corporate, government and community bodies to small and medium enterprises, our range of connections will give you insight into how industry works and what employers look for in graduates. Expand your network through ours and make valuable contacts for your future career.
Convenient location Within easy walking distance of Central Station and the Sydney CBD, our City campus is easily accessible by bus and train. Close to cosmopolitan inner-city suburbs such as Glebe, Surry Hills and Darling Harbour, the City campus is surrounded by places to shop, eat and just hang out. World-leading campus and facilities Our vision is to create a world-class interconnected campus – a place where students can study, socialise and connect. Four new iconic buildings, enhanced social spaces and major refurbishments of existing buildings are underway on our City campus, with new student accommodation and sporting facilities already complete.
Student life and support services A great university experience also relies on being part of a social and supportive community. UTS has over 100 clubs and societies on campus, along with bars, cafes and a range of sporting facilities, including a gym. To ensure you feel confident and supported, we offer academic support services along with services to help with housing, money, making friends, health, cultural issues and career development.
International opportunities The personal, social and professional development you gain through an international study experience will add excitement and value to your degree, and broaden your career options. You can study overseas as part of our global exchange program and our international studies program can be combined with other majors, giving you the opportunity to spend a year studying in another language overseas. Other opportunities for international engagement include our popular BUiLD program, which offers overseas volunteering opportunities.

practical experience
Want a degree that’s practice– oriented? Here are just some of the options available to you when you study Design, Architecture or Building at UTS. >> Students are invited and encouraged to enter their work in a wide range of external competitions and prizes in Australia and internationally. >> Volunteer to work on building projects in disadvantaged communities through the elective Construction for Developing Communities in Australia and overseas.
>> Design students have the opportunity to showcase their work in the UTS: Design Show. Industry is invited to engage and interact with students, and scout for bright new talent. >> UTS Architecture students have the opportunity to complete Global Field Studios. This subject allows you to take part in design projects overseas. In previous years students have travelled to Beirut to study post war architecture, and to Paris to study extreme urban densification.
>> Built Environment students are required to complete a professional practice subject, meaning students gain 200 days of industry experience before they graduate. >> Gain insight into industry practice through guest lecturers and industry speakers on campus.
kimberley merlino Bachelor of Design in Architecture, Master of Architecture
Why did you choose to study Architecture at UTS? It’s relevant to the architectural practice of the present and future as it deals with new practices, new technologies, and new theories while teaching students the fundamentals of working in the industry. The UTS School of Architecture also runs public lectures from international architects, artists and theorists, which are great for learning more about architecture and helping you with your degree.

You were accepted to take part in a three-month internship with Gehry Partners US last year – how did you get the internship? Architect Frank Gehry has formed a new relationship with UTS through the design of the new Business School building. Architecture students could submit a portfolio and four were chosen by Gehry Partners to go to America for a paid internship. I was one of four UTS Architecture students who completed the internship, which ran for three months in Los Angeles. What attracted you to an internship with Gehry Partners? It is a great opportunity to really understand how the project begins within the practice and becomes realised as architecture. Gehry Partners are renowned for their model making process so it will be great to understand how the technique of model making helps the design process.
