The Master of Architecture (MArch) programme is the second part of a two-degree sequence in professional architectural education. It is a taught postgraduate programme for students who intend to become architects. Applicants who possess a pre-professional degree in architecture, or its equivalent, and relevant work experience are eligible for admission.

The Master of Architecture at the School of Architecture is a two-year programme designed to provide students with an advanced educational experience focused on design innovation, specialised research and critical thinking. The programme stresses the importance of architecture as a humanistic discipline concerned with the design of habitats in diverse social and ecological conditions. The programme’s aim is to engage with a wide range of critical issues, teaching methodologies and design agendas that reflect the changing conditions of contemporary practice and emphasise the profound relationship of architecture to the broader problems of the environment and ecological sustainability. The position of the School, situated within the Faculty of Social Science, offers a unique opportunity for interaction and interdisciplinary research.
 
 The design studio is the lens through which students develop their architectural identity, fostering a speculative thinking environment that encourages innovation and experimentation. Through the studio, students are able to hone their research skills, develop high-level design proposals and learn to articulate a refined project. Studios are structured around two yearlong projects, a pre and a final thesis, organised into vertical studios where students learn from their peers and work collaboratively. M-Arch students are encouraged to pursue their own individual paths within a design agenda established by the studio tutor, who forms the objectives of each studio.
