Course overview
This course is designed for students who have completed Deakin's Bachelor of Design (Architecture)/Bachelor of Construction Management combined course.
You’ll get a specialist education that builds upon an established background in architecture and built environment studies. Unlike our Master of Architecture, the Master of Architecture (Design Management) requires only 1 year of full-time study instead of 2 years.
You’ll develop your skills and knowledge in architectural design research, urban ecologies and other aspects expected in modern architectural professional practice.
You’ll also undertake advanced studies in cultural, technological, design, environmental and theoretical knowledge. Plus, you will study the ethical, evaluative and research frameworks which underpin the architecture field.
Deakin’s Master of Architecture (Design Management) is professionally accredited within Australia by the Australian Institute of Architects, the Architects Registration Board of Victoria and the Architects Accreditation Council of Australia. This lets you achieve your professional registration, taking your career one step further.
Units in the course may include assessment hurdle requirements.
Indicative student workload
You can expect to participate in a range of teaching activities each week. This could include classes, seminars, practicals and online interaction. You can refer to the individual unit details in the course structure for more information. You will also need to study and complete assessment tasks in your own time.
Professional recognition
This course is accredited (within Australia) by the Australian Institute of Architects, the Architects Registration Board of Victoria and the Architects Accreditation Council of Australia.
Career opportunities
Graduates from the architecture course may be sought after by private architectural practice firms, government organisations and private companies in property development, building and design.
Graduates will be required to complete an additional two years of work experience under the supervision of a registered architect in order to present for registration with the Architects Registration Board of Victoria and the Australian Institute of Architects.
Alternatively, students who are already practising qualified architects will be able to widen their breadth of study in the field.
Income support
Domestic students enrolled in certain postgraduate coursework programs may be eligible for student payment through Youth Allowance and Austudy.
