Education WAÂ introduces Faculty Of Architecture, Building And Planning - The University Of Melbourne in Parkville, for all your education and learning needs.
The Faculty of Architecture, Building and Planning (ABP) is a single-department Faculty, led by our Dean, Professor Tom Kvan. ABP is the custodian Faculty of the Bachelor of Environments which provides opportunities for students to specialise in their chosen subject within the multi-disciplinary framework that takes into consideration other complimentary Bachelor of Environments subjects. Melbourne School of Design is the graduate school of ABP, where students gain academic and practical experience in their chosen field at masters level.
The Faculty has 82 academic staff and over 200 sessional tutors, many of whom are leading practitioners in the built environment and design fields. Almost half of our teaching and research staff are international coming from 20 countries including Asia, Africa, Europe and North America.
Academic expertise within the Faculty is located essentially in six disciplines: Architecture, Landscape Architecture, Urban Design, Property, Construction and Urban Planning. Our academics conduct research and teach across undergraduate, graduate and research programs. They are actively engaged in collaborations and partnerships, both locally and globally, to produce research that responds to major social, economic and environmental challenges, as well as fundamental research related to the built and natural environments in Australia and Asia.
