Te Pukenga trading as Unitec

The Master of Architecture is a qualification for people who have practised in one of these areas and want to advance their skills and explore their area of interest. In this master by project you’ll advance your knowledge of current design techniques, and learn to present your work effectively to interdisciplinary audiences. You will improve your understanding of how to look at architecture sites and briefs from different angles, and use techniques to construct interesting and unique responses. The key outcome of this programme is a master level project that demonstrates your specialised skill and/or knowledge in your area of chosen expertise. This is not an accredited degree to become a registered architect – for this you’ll need to complete the Master of Architecture (Professional).Highlights:Enables practising architects to study part-time, learn new techniques, sharpen their design skills and keep abreast of current theoryFocus on practical projects: the degree is ''by project'', which means that you undertake a project based on an aspect of your architecture practice to dateNo courseworkCollaborative approach: the Master of Architecture, together with the Master of Landscape Architecture, is part of a suite of design programmes at Unitec.
