Getting into architecture & building courses

Selection is primarily ATAR-based. Units 3 and 4 English is the usual prerequisite, and mathematics is commonly required or recommended. Becoming a registered architect takes a master's degree and supervised practice after this one, so check what each course leads to.

What it costs, next to what graduates earn

Total student contribution:5 years × $9,880/year ≈ up to about $49,400Estimate

The Australian government sets this rate by field of study, so it is the same at every university in the country – Adelaide did not set it and cannot discount it. Your exact total depends on the subjects you pick. A double degree is charged at two rates. We only hold one, so the real total may be lower. Paid through HELP once you're earning, not upfront.
