Deakin University’s postgraduate Architecture program has been designed to respond to global changes in architecture education, ensuring students are fully equipped with the up-to-date skills required by the modern architect nationally and internationally. The Master of Architecture is available to students who have completed an accredited three-year program in Architecture.
The Master of Architecture (Design) is available to students who have completed an accredited four-year program in Architecture, or to qualified practising architects or architecture academics who may wish to upgrade their qualifications, and to graduates of extended undergraduate courses.
Student’s will gain highly developed skills and knowledge in design computing technologies, information transfer, complex project design, addressing practice in different cultural conditions and employing performancemeasured sustainable design, all of which are expected in modern professional practice.
Deakin’s courses in Architecture have an excellent reputation in the profession. Deakin graduates are highly sought after and work in all aspects of the built environment, ranging from domestic to the largest commercial projects, from public infrastructure to urban and landscape design, in Australia and around the world.
Architects will be engaged in work not only in the mainstream of the architectural profession, but to an increasing extent in work in the development of human settlements; planning, urban design; disaster relief and international aid; property development, project and construction management; interior design; environmental conservation; technical systems design, furniture and industrial design; teaching and research; journalism; theatre, art and other areas not immediately related to the practice of architecture.
Many students who enrol in the postgraduate courses in architecture will move on to a satisfying career in mainstream architecture in a private practice or work for a larger firm or government organisation.
Deakin University’s postgraduate Architecture program has been developed using input from industry leaders to ensure the courses are relevant and up-todate with workplace demand. Continual consultation with industry ensures our program is designed to meet future industry requirements.
Our partnerships with local industry
provide hands-on experience to our
students, enabling us to train and develop
graduates who are job ready. There will be
regular guest lectures and project-based
activities involving members from industry
and practice.
Deakin’s postgraduate Architecture program provides the second component of the academic studies required for professional registration for graduates of an accredited five-year program. Graduates are then eligible to complete the process for registration as an architect in Australia.
Deakin’s professional program is also recognised by many registration bodies internationally, however these are governed more on a country-to-country basis.
Students will study in first-class facilities at Deakin’s Geelong Waterfront Campus, winner of three prestigious Royal Australian Institute of Architects awards for design excellence. Located 50 minutes by car or train from Melbourne. Five minutes walk from the Geelong Railway Station, the campus is on the edge of the Geelong CBD and features an expansive modern studio, a fully-equipped workshop, photographic studio and computer laboratories. Students also have access to the latest computer-aided modelling in Deakin’s virtual reality studio.
