Launched in 2009 and headed by Dean and Professor John Macarthur, the School of Architecture currently offers a Bachelor of Architectural Design and a Master of Architecture as well as Master and Doctor of Philosophy research programs.
Architecture at UQ is a national leader in architectural education and research. The School is renowned for the quality of its staff and graduates whose contributions have shaped some of the best contemporary architecture of Australia. The professional programmes are characterised by intensive interaction of students and staff on design projects in well-equipped studios and expert lectures in humanities and technology. Research strengths in indigenous culture, the history and theory of architecture, and sustainable design are strongly linked into the professional degree programs, which emphasise intellectual and imaginative responses to culture and place
