The Master of Architecture aims to provide you with:

• Highly developed skills to manage an architectural practice and lead or work within cross-discipline project teams
• A sustainable outlook with the ability to use new materials and technologies to create environmentally sustainable buildings
• A grounding in architectural history, theory and technology that leads to the creation of innovative architecture.

Students undertake a sequence of intensive design studios culminating in a research thesis. In the studios, students cover architectural design in the context of the creative invention of architectural futures, integrating aesthetic, technological, programmatic, environmental and social issues in the production of buildings. Students can take elective subjects in areas such as digital architecture, history and conservation, production, practice and sustainability, and society and culture.

With over thirty full-time academics and a broad range of leading architectural practitioners, the program has a depth and breadth of teaching and research performance unmatched within the Southeast-Asian and Australasian regions. Graduates will be equipped with the creative and critical thinking skills to push the envelope of architectural change in terms of the design and production of buildings as well as critique of their technical, aesthetic, social and environmental performance.

The ethos of the program emphasises the central role of design in the studio. Students can take a research subject which may enable progression to further studies as a PhD candidate.

"As a graduate working in architecture, it’s essential to understand the context within which a building is situated to fully realize its design potential. I work with engineers, consultants and historians and I think being able to empathize and collaborate with industry is one of the key things I learned."

Once you have completed the program, you can go on to work as an architect in private firms or government departments, or set up your own practice working on residential, commercial and institutional projects. You may also move into related careers such as industrial design, furniture design, interior design, landscape design, urban design, urban planning, facility management, project management and development, and conservation and heritage management.
