The 180-point Master of Architectural Science (MArchSc) is a year-long professional program blending research methodology with practical industry projects, offering hands-on experience. This qualification holds professional accreditation from the New Zealand Institute of Building (NZIOB).
For research-focused students, the 120-point Master of Architectural Science (Research) (MArchSc(Res)) involves independent study. Admission requires completing the 120-point Postgraduate Diploma in Architectural Science first, followed by this one-year thesis in your chosen specialization.
