Hands-on learning

'While exploring other architecture programs, I found they didn't prioritise hands-on learning. The Bachelor of Architectural Design at QUT allowed me to enhance my skills in fabrication studios and workshops, providing valuable one-on-one interaction with mentors and ample opportunities for feedback. The course nurtured my creative development, enabling me to express creativity throughout each assessment.'

Live your dream

I gained valuable work experience during my time at QUT. I secured a part-time property analyst position as part of my work integrated learning. Thanks to the career mentor service, I also worked as a student research assistant before I graduated. The strong analytical and critical thinking skills I developed built a solid foundation for my professional career. I am currently working in Malaysia as an assistant valuer and property manager at a local consultancy firm. The practical work experience I gained during my studies was definitely a stepping stone to where I am now.
