Design the world you want to live in

The Faculty of Architecture, Building and Planning, home to the world-renowned Melbourne School of Design, is a place where you can design the world you want to live in. We’re creating the next generation of designers, leaders and critical thinkers.

Our multidisciplinary approach prepares students to advance into the world as leading, adaptable professionals in their fields. We offer a range of programs across the built environment, weaving together design, architecture, construction management, landscape architecture, property, urban design, and urban planning.
