The Master of Philosophy (MPhil) in Built Environment program is a research degree that has a coursework component and a major research project. It provides an opportunity to undertake research in various fields including architecture, digital modelling, interior architecture, landscape architecture, industrial design, property development, construction management and economics, sustainable development, planning and urban design.

The MPhil aims at developing students' research competence, creative thinking and problem solving skills. The largest component within the MPhil is the research project. This offers students the opportunity for self-directed learning with the benefits of individual supervision and the cognate development of research skills through directed learning.
