admission criteria

The minimum requirement is a 4 year full-time bachelor or equivalent degree, and additional requirements apply to different specialisations as described in the following.

Design Major

Applicants must have a recognized professional degree in architecture, a high level of performance in design studio and design related subjects, and must submit a design portfolio demonstrating the range and quality of their design experience. One year of post-graduation professional experience in architectural practice, as well as personal and employer declarations about their role in the work are desirable.

History/Theory Major

Applicants must outline their interest in the field and the benefits to be gained from this Major in a written statement.

Computing Major

Applicants are assumed to have a working knowledge and experience with the principal computing tools used in architectural design practice, specifically CAD, 3D modelling and visualisation. Where students do not have those skills upon entry to the program, it is strongly recommended that they take an additional non-award course in order to acquire that base knowledge. Please note that additional tuition fees apply to non-award courses.
