Tertiary Education
of Architects Policy

WHAT GOVERNMENTS AND UNIVERSITIES NEED TO DO

Australian architectural education must respond to the international context and prepare students adequately for practice within Australia and abroad.


Governments and universities must, for students:

•    Provide funding and policy environments in architectural education that place Australian schools of architecture in an internationally competitive position

•    Provide studio learning environments that are in line with international best practice


Governments and universities must, for the architectural educators:

•    Provide career paths that are responsive to the measures of quality and performance of architecture as a professional discipline

•    Recognise and reward research endeavour that is valued by the profession and the discipline

•    Offer remuneration commensurate with that available in professional practice, particularly for leadership positions.
