About this course

The Master of Architecture combined with the Master of Property positions students to be industry ready and have flexibility within the employment market. It gives you the opportunity to express your creativity while giving you the skills to pursue a commercial career. The multidisciplinary approach gives you the ability to realise synergies between disciplines, broadening your skillset and giving you a contemporary understanding of the built environment profession.

This program aims to provide you with:

  • highly developed skills to manage an architectural practice and lead or work within cross-discipline project teams;
  • highly developed skills to analyse and value property;
  • a sustainable outlook with the ability to use new materials and technologies to create environmentally sustainable buildings;

This gives them a true competitive advantage and broader career options. Dual accreditation also offers a distinctive signal to employers and industry and enhances our existing graduate reputation for strong leadership and strategic thinking skills, embedded in our expertise in providing a world-class built environment education influencing Melbourne and cities globally for over 150 years.

What you will learn

Students undertake a sequence of intensive design studios culminating in a research thesis. In the studios, students cover architectural design in the context of the creative invention of architectural futures, integrating aesthetic, technological, programmatic, environmental and social issues in the production of buildings. Students can also take elective subjects in areas such as digital architecture, production, practice and sustainability, and society and culture. Your studies will also focus on five key knowledge areas of property: finance, economics, evaluation and investment, property management and law and planning, giving you a comprehensive oversight of the discipline and enabling a path towards generalised vocational work or specialisation. A unique aspect of the course is the 'International Property Development' subject, allowing students to experience markets and market players first-hand through case studies and interactions.
