You'll also learn about architectural communication, building codes, laws and regulations, personal and business presentation, and business management. In addition, you'll develop your freehand drawing and manual drafting abilities, and learn how to use software such as Computer Aided Design and Photoshop.
Your studies will include work-integrated learning in industry, and participation in a public exhibition of your work alongside your fellow students.
Please note: to study this programme you need have good literacy and numeracy skills. You also need the ability to recognise and differentiate colours.
