Architecture (Bachelor of
Architectural Studies [DBAE]: 3 years full time; equivalent part
time)
The study and practice of
architecture crosses both artistic and scientific
disciplines. Culminating in the design of buildings, cities
and places of all types it is concerned with addressing
essential human needs and desires - for shelter, order,
cultural expression, and sustainable co-existence with the
natural world. Architects are trained to think about space
and structure in creative and practical ways. They use
free, technical and computer aided drawings, models and the
written word to communicate their ideas. |

Interior Architecture (Bachelor
of Interior Architecture [DBIR]: 4 years full time;
equivalent part time)
Interior

structure, furniture, lighting and building services for the
design of commercial, educational, institutional, retail,
hospitality and exhibition buildings. Students studying
interior architecture at UniSA have the opportunity to
undertake minor streams in furniture or exhibition design. |

Industrial Design (Bachelor of
Industrial Design [DBDI]: 4 years full time; equivalent part

Industrial

computers. They ensure products satisfy peoples needs for
usefulness and are visually pleasing, while ensuring they
can be made using manufacturing technologies. Industrial
design is artistic and technical in nature.
Industrial Designers use a creative process to solve
problems in new and unique ways. They learn to use sketching
and perspective drawings, as well as models, engineering
drawings, computers (3D modelling packages) to help solve
problems and communicate their ideas. |
