Master of Architecture - Current Students
The Master of Architecture is the second stage required to obtain a professional qualification in architecture, and builds on your core skills developed as an undergraduate.
Through your masters study at UQ you'll gain a greater understanding of why architecture is such a dynamic and demanding profession, making a positive contribution to the shaping of our built environment and our culture. You'll also hone the essential skills of an architect, and your abilities to design buildings and spaces with an inherent concern for human living and society.
You can choose from a range of courses that will develop your ideas about contemporary architectural practice. You'll challenge your thinking through topics such as housing and density, civic buildings and public space, and commercial architecture.
Throughout the program you'll learn from professional architects and leading researchers who have strong local industry links and work to advance the discipline of architecture internationally.
From 2023, the Master of Architecture program has been restructured and new courses will be offered. Students commencing their studies in 2023 will be enrolled in the new program structure. Continuing students who commenced prior to 2023 can continue to follow the program requirements from the year that they commenced, or they may be able to elect to follow the new structure (if eligible).
To take part in a semester-based Exchange, you will need to meet certain eligibility criteria both before and after applying through the Global Experiences Team.
The eligibility criteria for exchange and the program structure for the Master of Architecture means there is a set study plan that must be followed for a student completing their Master of Architecture degree and undertaking exchange during the program. There are also limitations as to when in the program the exchange can be undertaken without impacting on the duration of study.
When enrolling, ensure you follow the recommended Master of Architecture study plan (unless advised otherwise by an Academic Advisor).
If you are considering the option of a semester-based exchange during your Master of Architecture program, it is recommended that you meet with the Architecture Academic Advisor when commencing your program, to discuss your study plan for the entire program.
We are pleased to share with you our MArch Studio and Research offerings. While making your course selections, we would like to remind students who commenced prior to 2023 to ensure that you are aware of the MArch program changes in 2023.
