Student Profiles

Janine Symons

Architectural Graduate
Master of Architecture

I had previously studied at both Curtin and UWA and had a much higher opinion of the standards at Curtin.

The course was demanding, but incredibly enjoyable and satisfying; the campus is quite lovely these days, although some of the facilities still need updating. Overall – incredibly hard work, incredibly rewarding.

Generally, Architecture staff at Curtin were very good, especially those who had recent or current experience in the industry.

Since graduating I have worked in a small practice in Subiaco since 2006, working part-time whilst I finished my degree. The practice specialises in conservation and heritage and I really enjoy the work I do here. Undoubtedly, an architectural qualification is essential for finding work in the industry.

I would recommend this degree to others. The course equips you with the skills you need to make a start in the architectural profession.
