    Master of Architecture (Professional)

    About

    Bond’s Master of Architecture (Professional) is not available for domestic students – Please see Master of Architecture.

    Only available to international students, Bond’s Master of Architecture (Professional) is pending AACA new program review, the qualification for professional recognition to practice as an Architect both in Australia and internationally.

    Delivered in the award-winning Abedian School of Architecture (ASA) building, it is a creative, hands-on, future-focussed learning experience where you will be immersed in innovative projects, studio workshops and research initiatives under the mentorship of internationally recognised academic-practitioners.

    With an overall focus on real-world scenarios and the role of architecture in addressing urban, environmental, social and technological change on a global scale, the Master’s 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. The final component of the program is a 12-week Professional Portfolio subject where you will develop highly relevant preparation for the workplace, including work experience in local practice for eligible students.

    With one of the lowest student-to-staff ratios of any architectural program in Australia, this small class environment enables each student to have their own assigned workspace, designed to encourage communication and collaboration with peers across all year levels.
