The Architectural Design Placement (working learning) is an honours level course which gives an opportunity for workplace learning. An introductory short course is undertaken in Semester 1. The Placement period is a continuous period of recognised employment (or related activity) during which a student undertakes a programme of work experience in an architect's office or similar place of work. Understanding of aspects of architectural practice is tested through on-line submissions. |
