COURSE DESCRIPTION
Develop an in-demand skill set and stand out to future employers with Deakin’s Master of Architecture/Master of Construction Management. In just three years you can accelerate your career prospects and gain two qualifications. You’ll acquire in-depth knowledge and practical skills in architecture, design, construction and project management, all while expanding your options for a diverse career in the built environment industry.
With an emphasis on practical learning, you’ll get plenty of hands-on experience in our Geelong Waterfront A+B Studio, where you’ll develop innovative construction projects and collaborate on cross-discipline activities. It’s an inspiring space to develop your creative processes and practical skills by exploring design, drawing, digital fabrication, measuring, estimating, project management and construction knowledge.
Want to study at a university ranked in the top 1% for architecture and built environment subjects?
In the architecture component of this double degree, you’ll expand your knowledge in architecture, design and sustainable strategies. You’ll develop sought-after skills by exploring critical architectural studies, environmental resiliency, sustainable design, technological advancement, and social and theoretical issues – preparing you for contemporary professional practice.
Further enhance your architectural knowledge by learning valuable construction management skills. The construction management component will give you the skills to manage small-to-large projects as well as in-demand knowledge of construction technology and processes, resource management, law procurement, information technology, environmental management, quantity surveying and construction economics.
You’ll graduate with a complimentary skill set and gain a competitive edge to kick start your dream career in the built environment.
The Master of Architecture is an essential step towards becoming a registered architect. After you graduate, you will need to complete two years of work experience under the supervision of a registered architect. Then, you’ll be eligible to present for registration with the Architects Registration Board of Victoria (ARBV).
Career outcomes
Deakin’s Master of Architecture/Master of Construction Management gives you unique cross-discipline skills to advance your built environment career.
As a graduate, you’ll be prepared for roles in design, project management and construction management with a variety of employers, including construction companies, business organisations, and government and consulting agencies.
Graduates who wish to pursue a career as a practising architect will be required to complete an additional two years of work experience under the supervision of a registered architect to present for registration with the Architects Registration Board of Victoria (ARBV) and the Architects Accreditation Council of Australia (AACA). Graduates can then pursue a career as a practising architect and work in a private architectural practice, government organisations, property development or other building and design fields (pending professional accreditation of the architecture component of the course).
