The overall aims of the Master of Architecture programme are to provide students with a competitive edge of advanced knowledge and skill, together with study choices that support career interests and address societal issues.

The programme’s focus is on architecture that supports amenity, sustainability, and cultural meaning. The Faculty is committed to sustaining an open-minded and creative atmosphere for the pursuit of research, to explore new forms of building and urban design, and to discover collaborative practices that nurture human potential. Our graduates recognize existing sources of knowledge but learn how to integrate their voice with others in order to influence both the art and the science of architecture.
