The two-year, professionally accredited curriculum delves into modern urban architectural challenges while advancing urbanization through architectural exploration.

Entry into this course requires a Bachelor of Architecture, or equivalent, and a credit (or above) grade average in the architecture design studios in the second and third year of the undergraduate degree. If the credit (or above) grade average is not met a portfolio*, submitted with the application, that indicates the design ability of the candidate may be used to determine admission eligibility.
