Melbourne School Of Design

[EduCativ]

The Faculty of Architecture, Building, and Planning, incorporating the Melbourne School of Design (MSD), Planning is a creative and people-oriented built environment faculty in Australia’s leading research-intensive university.

We established one of the first Bachelor degrees in Architecture in 1927 and now educate the full range of built environment professionals. We have a lively culture of exploration manifested in many forms, from classroom and studio to research inquiry, complemented by lectures, forums, and exhibitions. Our cultural diversity is one of our strengths: students and staff have come to Melbourne from over 50 countries. We have a healthy alumni body who hold leadership roles across Australia and the world.

The Melbourne Model led to the Bachelor of Environments and the establishment of the Melbourne School of Design. This new degree now leads to a range of postgraduate courses taught through the Faculty’s Melbourne School of Design (MSD), including architecture, construction management, landscape architecture, property, urban Planning, and urban design, all of which provide professional accreditation and position the university centrally within the built and natural environments as a gateway to practice.

We are passionate about activating the next generation of built environment professionals, providing a world-recognized education that inspires and enables our graduates to create and influence our world. We teach across the built environment fields, making us unique among Australian universities and part of a select group worldwide. This mix of expertise enables us to prepare our graduates to design solutions for an unpredictable future.

Our staff and students are busy visualizing exciting and relevant ways of programming our cities. Melbourne, ranked as the world’s most liveable city is a fantastic city to become an expert in the built environment. Researchers and industry practitioners teach our programs and are leaders in public conversations about our cities and regions, shaping policy development and transforming Australian practice. The Faculty of Architecture, Building, and Planning hosts the Bachelor of Design, a comprehensive range of built environment graduate programs, the Melbourne Sustainable Society Institute (MSI), and the Australian Urban Research Infrastructure Network (AURIN).

The new Bachelor of Design offers unique flexibility to complete majors, minors, double majors, and specializations. You can combine in-depth study in a particular area with subjects from a wide range of disciplines within the design field. Melbourne School of Design graduates are recognized as leading, adaptable professionals in their fields, knowledgeable across a range of disciplines with an excellent academic grounding and strong practical skills they can immediately apply in their jobs.
