Course Details
The Master of Architecture will train you to be an integrated urban professional, an agent of change with the vision to design progressive architecture that responds to the dynamic needs of contemporary society and speculates about the future of our built environment. As a student you will undertake high-level study in specialised areas of architecture, from housing and urban design to digital practices. Through project based design studios you will gain exposure to leading design practices. An integrated program of study will allow you to select from a range of design studios complemented with advanced architectural studies units. These units will introduce students to the methods and tactics of architectural design research and engage with the multidisciplinary socio-cultural, political, economic, historical, theoretical and technical dimensions relevant to contemporary architecture and urbanism. You will also develop real world knowledge of architectural practice within the context of multi-disciplinary collaborations and evolving construction methods and practices through our Professional Practice unit in your final year to prepare you for the workplace. Your studies will also culminate in the final year with a self-directed project.
