"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."
