Master of Architecture by coursework
Shaping the world that surrounds us
Architects reflect on and respond to cultural, historical, political, social, environmental, and technological contexts. They skilfully mould and shape the spaces and immersive experiences that form the foundation of our built environment.
Our Master of Architecture provides advanced design education for entry into today’s architectural profession. It combines theoretical knowledge with practical skills, empowering students to explore innovative design solutions. By fostering a collaborative and inclusive learning environment, we nurture the next generation of architects to make a lasting and transformative impact on our dynamic and evolving world.
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 最新糖心Vlog 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.
