Overview
The Master of Architecture is a focused, professional degree and is required to become a practising architect. It is the second of two degrees, undertaken after the successful completion of the Bachelor of Arts in Architecture (C10004) or equivalent.
This course is an innovative and flexible professional degree. Through a non-sequential structure, which allows students to select from a range of core and elective subjects, it gives students choice regarding their professional specialisation that will best serve them in their future careers. Architectural design subjects enhance a critical understanding of architecture as both a discipline with an existing body of knowledge and a set of practices that continuously challenge and add to that body of knowledge. Research is undertaken as a preliminary to design decision-making, during design and in reflection on design development. Architectural practice subjects prepare students for expanded practice in emerging media and markets, contemporary business practice and global economies, and within challenging social, environmental, political and regulatory contexts. Students who complete a Master of Architecture and subsequent practice experience are eligible to become registered architects.
Course aims
The course aims to produce graduates who are able to:
- work collaboratively in local and international architectural practices of differing scale, structure and operation
- be strategic and enterprising practice leaders
- critically analyse, evaluate, question and engage in informed argument
- communicate ideas effectively
- extend knowledge and understanding through research skills and to transfer this creatively through the design process
- put forward accurate and persuasive architectural proposals, and
- apply ethical, environmental, cultural, aesthetic and technological considerations in architectural practice.
Career options
Career options include architect, designer or urban designer.
Additional admission requirements
Successful completion of the Bachelor of Arts in Architecture (C10004), or its equivalent as judged by the Faculty, is required for entry into this course.
