Summary
The Master of Architecture (Professional) and Urban Planning (Professional) (MArch(Prof)UrbPlan(Prof)) blends courses from two standalone masters programmes. In less time than it takes to complete the two degrees separately, you will gain a combined qualification to practice as a professional architect*. The programme will build a sound platform for the realities of contemporary practice. During your studies, you will gain skills to shape the economic, social, environmental and cultural development of our urban spaces. This programme has received its professional accreditation and is recognised by the New Zealand Registered Architects Board (NZRAB), Te Kāhui Whaihanga New Zealand Institute of Architects (NZIA) and the Commonwealth Association of Architects (CAA), as well as the New Zealand Planning Institute (NZPI). *If you wish to become a practising architect, you must complete this programme (or any of our MArch(Prof) programmes) as well as additional requirements from the registration boards.
