The Bachelor of Architectural Design is completed over 3 years of full-time study at the Melbourne City campus, with February and July intakes. Expand each section for core subjects and electives.
Core
The Bachelor of Architectural Design at RMIT University is a three-year studio-based degree taught at the Melbourne City campus. Core study progresses through Architecture Design Studio 1 to 6, paired with Architecture Communications, Technology, and History subjects that build drawing, 2D and 3D design capability. You explore Western twentieth-century architecture and Australian architecture, then consolidate learning in Architecture Reflective Practice. Studios are led by academic experts and practitioners so you combine experimental and speculative design with practical, industry-linked projects and graduate ready for design and technical roles in the built environment.

Electives
A university elective sits inside the Bachelor of Architectural Design structure so you can sample a subject beyond the architecture core while still meeting course rules. Electives are chosen during subject planning with your advisor rather than as a separate marketing block. Use the elective to deepen a creative interest, technical skill, or complementary design area, and balance credit points and prerequisites so it strengthens rather than delays your path to graduation at RMIT Melbourne City across February or July intakes.
