This course is designed for graduates aiming to become practising architects, building on foundational knowledge from a Bachelor of Design in Architecture or equivalent. Choose this programme for its innovative approach, offering a flexible structure that empowers you to tailor your specialisation to your career aspirations. Its distinctiveness lies in the integration of critical architectural design with practical research, preparing you for the dynamic nature of architectural practice.



You will gain critical analysis, strategic leadership, and effective communication skills. Additionally, you will develop research abilities to creatively inform your design process and learn to craft persuasive architectural proposals. The course also emphasises ethical, environmental, cultural, aesthetic, and technological considerations in architecture.



Learning occurs through a blend of core and elective subjects, with hands-on design and reflective practice. This approach ensures you are well-prepared for registration as an architect in New South Wales, ready to contribute to local and international practices.



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 can 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 practical experience are eligible to become registered architects in New South Wales.
