Architecture Degrees Online

This course is offered full time over one year or part-time over two or three years. Students interested in working as a drafter, CAD operator or building designer should consider undertaking this course.

It is offered internally at the Casuarina Campus of CDU. There are no external units, full time students would be expected to attend classes four days per week. This allows for part time employment in the industry, which is highly recommended. Suitable part time options are also available. Part time students would be expected to complete the course within four years.

Career Opportunities
There is currently a nation-wide shortage of suitably qualified drafters, CAD operators and building designers. Graduates can expect to readily gain employment, either full time, part time, casual, sub-contract or self employed. It is possible to work from home or a remote office. Graduates may find employment with a drafting office, an architect, a builder or manufacturer, and their position and remuneration will depend on their interset, expertise and experience. Students who continue their studies and complete the Diploma of Building Design and Technology will work on larger projects, have more responsibility, less supervision, and will receive greater remuneration.
