Master of Architecture

Summary

Advance your research into architecture and related fields through in-depth investigation at masters level.

Programme overview

The Master of Architecture is a research-based programme that allows you to further develop your personal interests, choosing to specialise in either architecture or sustainable design. Your study will be self-directed, with support from an academic supervisor from our nationally and internationally recognised staff, featuring leading practitioners, designers and scholars.

Late Year Semester will start in December.

Important: The MArch is not a professionally accredited qualification and will not prepare you for professional registration.
