Master of Architecture (Professional) (MArch(Prof))

Overview

The Master of Architecture (Professional) (MArch(Prof)) follows on from the Bachelor of Architectural Studies (BAS). It is the qualification that is required to apply for registration as a professional architect.

In the first year of the programme you will attend a number of taught seminars, take professional studies courses and studio design topics. You can select from the following four subjects:

• Sustainable Design
• Urban Design
• Material and Digital Fabrication
• Māori and Cultural Studies.

In the second year you will prepare a 120-point research thesis in an area of specific interest. You will fully explore your chosen architectural proposition in a practical design context, underpinned by a strong theoretical component.
