Master of Architecture
Bond University, Gold Coast, QLD, Australia
About this program
The professional qualification in Bond's architecture pathway, about 16 months (four semesters) of project-based design studios ending in a master's thesis studio. Entry requires a prior degree in design or architecture, usually Bond's Bachelor of Design in Architecture or an equivalent.
This is the degree that counts for registration: it is accredited by the Architects Accreditation Council of Australia and the Australian Institute of Architects, which is what allows graduates to work toward registration as an architect in Australia and be recognised internationally. Students get an assigned workspace in the Abedian School of Architecture, which is open 24 hours.
