Architecture
Go beyond the buildings and design your world.
Your first step to becoming a registered architect
Today’s architects work in a rapidly expanding domain with constantly shifting boundaries. We offer degree programmes that reflect these evolving requirements and ensure you are well-equipped to begin a rewarding career, either in architecture or in a broad range of other design-based roles.
Once you have completed a recognised qualification, such as the Master of Architecture (Professional), you can work in practice and later specialise in an aspect of the field that interests you – design, technology or heritage conservation, to name just a few industry pathways. While each country has specific accreditation requirements, New Zealand-qualified architects find international employment with relative ease in Australia, Asia, the United States of America and Europe.
Architecture school is your chance to experiment, develop your creative practice, and discover what kind of architect you want to be.
