Overview

Master of Architecture

You will receive a rounded professional architectural education with strength in design research. 

You can focus on sustainable design, urban design, history/theory or design practice. 

The research-based approach to architectural design in this degree at Griffith University will help you develop the capacity to pose original questions and to investigate, analyse and appraise current information and understandings. 

The research-led design will underpin career-long self-directed learning of a critical-reflective nature.
