Graduate Diploma of Architectural Studies

The unique experience of studying architecture at Notre Dame is founded on a holistic way of thinking and acting to combine creative design processes and technical skills with an understanding of human, cultural and environmental issues.
This Graduate Diploma provides a pathway for students with backgrounds in architecture from other countries and from other cognate disciplines. Knowledge and skills specific to the profession of architecture in an Australian context are integrated within the project-based learning. The curriculum focuses on preparation for entry into the Master of Architecture and is co-taught the current final year of the Bachelor of Arts (Architecture) students, increasing networks through shared learning opportunities.

To be eligible for admission to the Graduate Diploma of Architectural Studies applicants must also meet the following specific requirements:

• An AQF 7 (or higher) qualification in Architecture or another cognate discipline; or
• An international equivalent of the above, as recognised by the University.
