Qualification and professional pathway
Pathway is classified only from a statement on an official page. A degree title such as B.Arch, BA, BSc, M.Arch or MSc does not decide it, and no degree by itself grants permission to practise as an architect.
- Degree level
- Bachelor’s degreeA first degree entered after secondary school.
- Pathway
- Pre-professionalA first stage. The source says further study or a further qualification is needed before registration or licensure.
- Why we classify it this way
- The school says the BAS in Architecture only meets the five-year education requirement when combined with the Master of Architecture (Professional).“The Wellington School of Architecture’s Bachelor of Architectural Studies (BAS) in Architecture, combined with the Master of Architecture (Professional), the MArch[Prof], is recognised by the New Zealand Registered Architects Board (NZRAB) and the New Zealand Institute of Architects (NZIA) as satisfying the requirement for five years of approved education in Architecture.”Source

Fees and costs
Original currency is authoritative. Each price keeps its basis (per year, per credit, whole program), academic year and student category, and is never converted. Annual tuition and whole-program tuition are different figures.
The institution does not publish tuition for this program on the pages we checked. Ask for current fees, what they include and whether studio, materials, printing, software, equipment and field-trip costs are extra.
Sources and verification
Not published on the program’s source pages: tuition, full-time or part-time options, intakes, portfolio requirement, whether a previous architecture degree is required, accreditation or validation record.
