Head of School Welcome
Welcome to the School of Architecture, Landscape Architecture and Urban Design at the University of Adelaide in South Australia.
We are situated in the heart of Adelaide along the beautiful River Torrens. The School was founded almost 50 years ago in an Australian city with a strong design history, initially planned and laid out in the mid-19th century. Today a bustling city boasts extensive parklands and river trails as well as surrounding hills and seaside that provide a beautiful and livable environment for study and living.
The design tradition evident in the City of Adelaide merges today with the leading edge work of the School where students and researchers from Architecture and Landscape Architecture as well as Digital Media, come together in a rich multi-disciplinary environment.
In addition, higher degree research is also available for students wanting to do work at the Honours, Masters and Doctoral levels, with an academic staff that is distinguished by international scholarship in various design fields, which include environmental design, cross-cultural studies, cultural landscapes, and design with digital media.
Students have the option of taking a foundational three-year Bachelor of Design Studies which can lead to either the two-year professional degrees offered at a Masters level (Master of Architecture or Master of Landscape Architecture) or the three-year professional double degree (Master of Architecture/Master of Landscape Architecture). Applicants from other institutions can enter these Masters, according to their qualifications, either directly or through a bridging program which grants a Graduate Diploma.
Superior teaching at the School has been recognized through numerous awards granted to staff that teaches across a broad spectrum from structures and landscape to city form and planning. Opportunities for collaboration, the international profile of the student population and the situation of the School within one of Australia's prestigious Group of Eight makes for a design education at the University of Adelaide that is a life-changing and enriching experience.
