To enter the Bachelor of Environmental Design (Interior Design, Furniture Design, Architecture or Landscape) or the Associate Degree in Furniture Design, the University considers applicants who meet the University’s General Entry Requirements.
There are no additional prerequisites for the Bachelor of Environmental Design or the Associate Degree in Furniture Design. A limited number of places are available to applicants who do not meet the University’s General Entry Requirements. Such applicants may be required to attend an interview and present a folio of creative work and/or demonstrate skills and knowledge that suggest they could successfully undertake the course.
International students should check the International Admission Requirements for more details.
To enter the Master of Architecture, applicants will have the Bachelor of Environmental Design (Architecture) or an equivalent undergraduate degree in environmental design or architectural studies, or an equivalent recognised and accredited program, with architecture as the main emphasis or major. In addition, students may be asked to attend an interview and submit a portfolio of work including items from both their previous studies and other relevant activities, such as office practice.
International students will not be required to attend an interview if applying from their home country but may be interviewed by phone or in person if a School staff member is visiting their home country. International students should check the International Admission Requirements for more details.
Applicants should note that, because there are limited places available, meeting the minimum entry requirements for admission will not automatically guarantee entry into the course.
Please note: The Graduate Certificate in Timber (Processing & Building) is not available to international students studying on a student visa.
To enter the course, applicants need to have a relevant degree or an acceptable combination of tertiary qualifications and relevant industry experience. Generally, successful applicants will have: an undergraduate degree in Building, Architecture, Engineering, Forestry or related disciplines; a degree in any discipline combined with relevant industry experience; an acceptable combination of training qualifications and relevant industry experience. Applicants without a degree are also encouraged to apply, and will be considered for admission under the Faculty of Science, Engineering & Technology’s policy for the admission of non-graduates to postgraduate coursework programs. Generally, applicants without an undergraduate degree who are admitted will be required to participate in the UniStart program and originally enrol in an Associate Degree. If successful in the first unit of study, they can then be transferred into the Graduate Certificate.
Applicants who have passed subjects or units in other approved courses (completed or otherwise) at other approved tertiary institutions may have their previous studies credited towards courses at the School of Architecture & Design. In such cases the School will clearly specify what subjects must be successfully completed to qualify for the degree.
Entry to most undergraduate degree courses offered by UTAS requires a minimum English language competency equivalent to an overall score of 6.0 (with no individual band less than 5.5) in an IELTS test or 550 TOEFL, including a minimum score of 4.5 in the Written Test in English. English proficiency tests may not be required for those applicants who have conducted a substantial proportion of their education in English.Applicants who have not achieved the required level may enrol in an English language course conducted on the University campus at one of the University’s English Language Centres. Courses are taught at intermediate and advanced level, and a Direct Entry Academic Program (DEAP) may be offered to those students who are able to demonstrate that they are close to meeting the University’s English language requirement.
EnglishAssist is available to all international students enrolled in award courses, at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels, for the duration of their degree.
