RMIT MASTER OF ARCHITECTURE (PROFESSIONAL) 2 year professionally accredited Architecture degree Note: This degree follows the 3 year RMIT Bachelor of Architectural Design degree » Applying for entry into the RMIT Master of Architecture (Professional) degree Course Structure The main focus of the Master of Architecture (Professional) degree at each semester level is the design studio, in which students investigate architecture through design, integrating the knowledge gained in history, communications and technology and other research and practice specialisations into a total design project. The Architecture program at RMIT is differentiated from other architecture degrees by the design studio structure and selection process. Students ballot for a thematic design studio and tutor each semester. The range of studio topics reflects a diversity of architectural practice and design research. Tutors are drawn from the RMIT Architecture program and visiting academics, and from innovative practices in Melbourne. The design studios are vertically integrated and offer specialised topics that engage with a more complex design questions involving emerging practice and research concerns and a large scale of project. History, communications and technology elective courses support the design studios along with elective courses in urban design and digital design research areas, fostering pathways into the Urban Architecture Laboratory and the Spatial Information Architecture Laboratory research streams offered within the Master of Architectural Research and PhD in Architecture postgraduate research programs. Elective courses are also offered by other programs such as Landscape Architecture, Interior Design and Industrial Design. The Master of Architecture (Professional) Program culminates in a final semester Major Project through which students are able to reflect upon, refine and demonstrate the knowledge they have gained in the program through the production of a substantial design or thesis project. There are public exhibitions of student work each semester and an annual exhibition and publication of Major Project work to encourage debate and to celebrate the work undertaken during the program. Program Features The Urban Architecture Laboratory undertakes urban architectural research, and postgraduate research supervision, and offers urban architecture elective and design studio teaching courses in the Bachelor of Architectural Design and the Master of Architecture (Professional) degrees. The Spatial Information Architecture Laboratory undertakes architectural research on the application of digital technologies, and offers postgraduate research supervision, and Spatial Information Architecture elective and design studio teaching courses in the Bachelor of Architectural Design and the Master of Architecture (Professional) degrees. International Linkages Rmit Architecture is committed to engaging with and contributing to emerging architectural practices, research and debate in an international context. The program features regular international visiting academics and practitioners who offer public lectures, design studio and research workshops, seminars and act as postgraduate examiners and critics.
