What will I learn?

To stand out as an architect, you need to develop architectural skills on a global scale. Bond's Master of Architecture is a fully accredited qualification for professional recognition to practice as an architect both in Australia and internationally. Delivered in the award-winning Abedian School of Architecture building, it is a creative, hands-on, future-focussed learning experience where you'll be immersed in innovative projects, studio workshops and research initiatives under the mentorship of internationally recognised academic-practitioners. With a focus on real-world scenarios and the role of architecture in addressing urban, environmental, social, and technological change on a global scale, the program is presented as a series of design studios. Each unit is a combination of theoretical studies, technical proficiency, and practical application, with the process culminating in a master's thesis studio. Other highlights include off-campus study tours, a paid international study tour for eligible students, and electives that allow you to incorporate other subjects of interest from other disciplines. With one of the lowest student-to-staff ratios of any architectural program in Australia, our small class environment facilitates individual assigned workspaces, designed to encourage communication and collaboration with classmates across all year levels. This is further enhanced by all-school projects such as the annual Design Charrette and the biannual exhibitions.
