Students
The skills, the software, and how a portfolio comes together.
Core design fundamentals, drawing, and material studies shared across the first year.
Studio problems grow in scale and complexity, alongside structures and building science coursework.
The bulk of studio credits — building-scale design problems paired with technical and professional coursework.
Studio work extends to urban and regional scale, alongside electives in specialised design areas.
An independent, faculty-guided thesis project, completed alongside professional practice coursework.
Where design work actually happens, not just where it's assigned.
Work is pinned up and defended out loud, in front of the cohort.
Every project moves through repeated rounds of sketch, model, and redraw.
Design & Drafting
Digital Modelling
Technical Documentation
Communication
AutoCAD
Technical drafting and working drawings.
Revit
BIM-based design and documentation.
SketchUp
Fast massing and concept modelling.
Rhino / Grasshopper
Complex geometry and parametric design.
The design problem and site conditions are studied before any drawing begins.
Early ideas are tested quickly, through sketches and rough study models.
Concepts are pinned up, questioned, and revised — repeatedly, before committing to one direction.
The chosen direction is resolved in detail, across plan, section, and technical systems.
Built gradually, not assembled the week before placements.
A single project distilled to its key drawings and diagrams.
The thesis project condensed for a recruiter audience.
A sample of working drawings, demonstrating detailing ability.
Studio work selected for department-level recognition each semester.
Work chosen for display at the end-of-semester studio exhibition.
Thesis projects recognised for design rigour and resolution at final review.
Illustrative categories — individual achievements are recognised as they occur.
Your cohort becomes your first professional network, years before graduation.
Studio life runs on its own rhythm — long working sessions, late reviews, and a cohort that spends more time together than with anyone else on campus.
Design and documentation roles at architecture and design studios of every scale.
Planning and policy-facing roles at consultancies and public-sector bodies.
Further study (M.Arch, M.Plan, and allied fields) or research-oriented practice.
Interior, landscape, and adjacent design practices that draw on the same studio training.
Studio and thesis work is compiled into a portfolio, reviewed with faculty, and submitted through your MYARCH profile for placement review.
AutoCAD, Revit, SketchUp, and Rhino/Grasshopper are used across studio years — see the Software Ecosystem section above.
Internships run alongside the placement process — see the Placements page for how they're coordinated.
MYARCH is scoped to current students' placement profiles. For alumni-related queries, reach out through the Contact page.
Already Enrolled?
Build your portfolio, track review status, and see it exactly as recruiters will.
Work is presented as a complete set — drawings, models, and a defended design rationale.
The Contact page routes academic and programme questions to the department directly.
