  • Program Outline
    This is an intensive four-semester length studio-based academic program that develops professional and creative abilities in a context of contemporary theory and practice of architecture. Projects are used as the basis for learning, discussion and review. Some projects lead students through technical, administrative, planning or other specific aspects of practice, while others promote innovative approaches to design with a more open agenda. The programs combine a global outlook with extensive use of case studies of Australian and international work. Teaching is by a combination of University staff and visiting practising professionals.

  • Assessment

    In the Master of Architecture program, assessment is based on project work rather than on examinations. Details of all assessment tasks and the weighting of each are contained in the course guide for each course. Some courses contain assessment hurdles. These are components that must be passed to pass the course overall.  All assessment practices within the Master of Architecture are based on and conform to the University’s assessment policy. Other information concerning assessment, including policies related to submission of work and how to apply for supplementary examinations and assignments, can be found on the School’s website and in the Student Handbook.
