Master of Architecture

The Master of Architecture expands your knowledge in architecture, design and innovative strategies through creativity. You will develop skills through advanced study of critical architectural futures and its integration of current cultural studies, environmental resiliency, sustainable design, technological advancement and social and theoretical issues. This prepares you for contemporary professional practice. You’ll also undertake studies of ethical, evaluative and research frameworks which underpin the architecture field. You’ll have access to Deakin’s impressive a+b studio, open 24/7, providing an open plan space to work collaboratively and develop your projects. Fabricate models in our state-of-the-art architecture workshop and experiment with technology, materials and processes. The workshop is fully equipped with 3D printers, laser cutters, CNC routers and traditional tools and machinery. Want to gain advanced practical skills through real-world projects? You will also have the opportunity to work closely with construction management students, creating a multidisciplinary learning experience that stands out to potential employers. Graduates of the Master of Architecture may find employment opportunities in private architectural practices, government organisations and private companies in property development, building and design. The Master of Architecture is an important step in progressing you towards becoming a registered architect. Upon graduation and the completion of two years of work experience under the supervision of a registered architect, you will then be eligible to present for registration with the Architects Registration Board of Victoria and the Australian Institute of Architects. Our location in Geelong gives us a unique environment to explore urban and regional issues at multiple scales of projects. We are positioned to connect the city to regional Victoria through our learning experiences and research, creating opportunities to examine our community’s sustainability and resiliency through our design-based investigations.
