The Master of Architecture (Professional) and Urban Design 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 investigate the ecological, social and economic conditions that support great cities and urban spaces.
The MArch(Prof)UrbDes is professionally accredited, 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).
Read the full programme regulations for the Master of Architecture (Professional) and Urban Design in the Curriculum Catalogue.

Minimum requirements listed here are the likely grades required and do not guarantee entry. We assess each application individually and applicants may require a higher grade to be offered a place.
