Master of Architecture (Professional)
If you wish to become a practicing architect, you must complete the MArch(Prof) program or one of our associated combined master's programs (followed by additional requirements from the registration boards).
The MArch(Prof) is professionally accredited, recognized by the New Zealand Registered Architects Board (NZRAB), the New Zealand Institute of Architects (NZIA) and the Commonwealth Association of Architects (CAA).
Following a year of advanced study, you will have the chance to explore an individual architectural design proposition, supported by a strong theoretical component, in a design thesis.
