Description

This course provides an opportunity for students to gain off-campus experience in the discipline and profession of Architecture. Each student is required to undertake twenty four weeks of activity with the minimum single period of approved activity being eight weeks. The preferred activity is to work under the supervision of a registered Chartered Architect for the twenty four week period. This period of activity must be undertaken outside the formal academic session. Students undertaking this activity during the academic session shall not be enrolled in any other courses. This course must be completed before commencing ARCH1501- Investigation Workshop. For students to achieve a satisfactory assessment they must provide documented evidence of undertaking the preferred activity. Students have two options in providing evidence. Firstly, by using the accepted form of log-book provided by the Architects Accreditation Council of Australia or other professional bodies. Secondly, submitting a signed letter from their supervising registered Chartered Architect outlining the dates and period of time they were employed, their responsibilities and the activities / projects they have been engaged in. On completion of the course requirements students are required to submit the selected documentation to the Faculty Student Centre. Where students wish to undertake other activities such as an architectural study tour, employment on construction projects or other related architectural activity, a proposal must be submitted to the course authority for approval. Students are required to document these activities in accordance with guidelines issued by the Head of Program. The Faculty reserves the right to disallow any activities as meeting the requirements for this course, for which prior approval has not been sought and obtained in writing.
