Overview

Master of Architecture

The Master of Architecture degree is an accredited professional degree that provides advanced education in architecture and is the principal pathway to registration as a practising architect.

The program extends the development of skills and knowledge in architecture built on the undergraduate Bachelor of Architecture and Built Environments degree and draws on a rich treasury of teaching traditions, community partnerships, technical capabilities, design excellence, and questing research. 

The program aims to foster a profound and enduring engagement with architecture as profession, discipline, and culture.

Project-based design studios form the core of the program. 

These emphasise professionalism, critical and rigorous design thinking, knowledge of contemporary and emergent theories, technologies and practices, and the development of skills for a diversity of future careers in architecture. 

Students gain experience tackling a range of challenging design problems, including those relating to urban futures, social and environmental responsibility, and complex buildings.

Studios are complemented by units in Professional Practice, Advanced Technologies, and Design Research, with a choice of options to enable tailored pathways through the field. 

The program culminates with a research-led final project nurtured by professional and discipline leaders in small studio groups.

Practical experience

The program’s celebrated Learning-by-Making tradition embeds material experimentation into the curriculum. 

This is supported by a fully-equipped and staffed digital fabrication workshop, including 3D printers, laser cutters, CNC routers, a six-axis robot, and a suite of Hologram headsets for mixed-reality design and fabrication, which complements a full workshop suite of equipment suitable for fine timber fabrication.

An evolving constellation of community and industry partnerships bring fledgling designers into contact with real projects. 

Recent collaborations have included art and music festivals, health and education providers, social enterprises and charities, environmental organisations, and scientific research projects.

Work placement

Work-Integrated Learning electives provide opportunities for direct experience with leading enterprises in architectural design and construction, building product manufacturers, and cultural organisations. 

Students can also devise their own work opportunities within this framework and count their experience towards their degree.
