Immerse yourself in the history and theory of architecture through the Master of Architecture (MArch), a research and thesis-focused program designed to deepen your understanding and expertise in the field. This qualification is ideal if you are already working in architecture and seek to enhance your knowledge through rigorous research, or if you wish to build upon your undergraduate studies.
What You Will Learn:
Through this program, you will refine your critical thinking and discourse skills by undertaking a substantial research project. You will expand your comprehension of how architectural history and theory inform design practices, enabling you to articulate your own ideas within a robust theoretical framework.
Expertise Through Research:
Select a thesis topic that aligns with your existing knowledge of the intellectual, technical, aesthetic, and cultural aspects of architecture. Your research must be rooted in theory and conducted using sound methodological approaches.
You will receive dedicated supervision and guidance from faculty renowned for their excellence in teaching, research, and scholarly publications. Depending on your thesis topic, you may incorporate media such as a drawing portfolio or video, provided it is contextualized within a theoretical framework.
Past Research Topics Include:
– Architectural and urban design processes
– Sustainability in architecture
– Architectural history, theory, and criticism
– Energy and environmental design of buildings, emphasizing sustainable practices
* Please note, the Master of Architecture program does not lead to professional registration as an architect. If your goal is to practice as a licensed architect, consider pursuing the Master of Architecture (Professional) program.
