Design/Engineering pathway
Coming into university, I was not sure whether I wanted to do architecture or engineering. Studying the Bachelor of Design gave me the option to test out both worlds. I was able to take a mix of subjects in each discipline, to see which I enjoyed the most – from maths and science, to architectural history and digital design. It gave me the time and flexibility I needed to make the right decision, ultimately where I would choose to continue with a Master of Engineering.
