COURSE DESCRIPTION
Architects reflect on and respond to cultural, historical, political, social, environmental, and technological contexts. They shape the spaces and experiences that make up our built environment.
Our Master of Architecture provides advanced design education for entry into today’s architectural profession.
What will you do?
Take a sequence of core design studios, each with a distinct focus.
Explore material cultures, urban landscapes and complex buildings.
Build skills in professional practice and construction technologies.
Cultivate critical judgement via studies of architectural history theory.
Expand your horizons with travelling studios in Australia and overseas.
Form interdisciplinary teams to address complex design problems.
Propose and complete a research-led final design project in a small studio group.
Where could it take you?
You’ll graduate as an accredited graduate architect, equipped for a range of creative and managerial careers in the field. You might restore beautiful old buildings, pioneer new responses to the housing crisis or specialise in high-performance architectural technology. You could design schools that inspire learning or hospitals that help heal the sick. Perhaps you’ll distil a culture or an era into the next iconic opera house or skyscraper.

Degree Structure
The majority of the teaching activities are based around the design studios, which are now aligned with the school’s research streams ‘History, Theory and Culture’, ‘Design’ and ‘Urbanism’, along with courses in advanced construction, structures and environmental studies.
A new internship elective has been introduced for students to experience a working environment in an architecture firm in which to observe and apply their knowledge and skills for the degree. Elective options also include the offshore studio and other courses that have a community or professional experiential learning or engagement aspect.
