About this course

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 grounding in architectural history, theory and technology that leads to the creation of innovative architecture.

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.
