Rules for completing this course

You must complete 192 credit points, of which 96 points are from the Bachelor of Architectural Studies (including the requirements listed below from Parts A, B and C) and 96 points from the Bachelor of Design (including the requirements listed below from Parts A, B and C). Due to unit BLK1000 being offered in both courses, BLK1000 will be replaced by ADA3012 Transdisciplinary studies in the Bachelor of Architectural Studies. This unit draws together the two disciplines and examines their complementarity/the possibilities that come from having done these two courses together. In this case, the unit BLK1000 Indigenous Australian creative practice and ways of knowing will be taught as part of the Design program’s 96 core credit points.
