About

Develop your understanding of the contemporary issues shaping urban architecture and the promotion of a more just and sustainable built environment in one of the most internationally recognised designed cities. UC’s Master of Architecture has the unique status as the only postgraduate architecture program in Canberra, Australia’s national capital. Our Master of Architecture program will provide you with a unique mix of design, practice-based and research-led opportunities that will empower you to make a positive impact in a world of significant change. 

Completion of our accredited Master of Architecture degree is part of the pathway to registration as an architect in Australia. Accredited under a process administered by the Architects Accreditation Council of Australia, the course will arm you with the professional and intellectual knowledge and skills needed to practice architecture nationally and internationally. You will fine-tune your expertise from your architecture-based bachelor’s degrees and can choose to pursue additional studies leading to a PhD in a range of topics, including architectural history, urbanism, sustainability or digital architecture.

Admission criteria

  • A Bachelor of Architecture or equivalent as approved by the University.
  • Credit standard (or above) grade average in the architecture design studios in the final four semesters of the undergraduate degree. If the credit standard (or above) grade average is not met, or if the applicant is from a professional or diverse disciplinary background, the application also needs to include a portfolio based on the final four semesters of studio work or equivalent professional experience that indicates the design ability of the applicant and that may be used to determine admission eligibility. Applicants being assessed on portfolio must upload their portfolio as a PDF within the UAC application.
