Master of Architecture (MArch)

The Master of Architecture (MArch) program is primarily intended for applicants who possess an undergraduate degree in Architecture.

The comprehensively revised MArch curriculum is designed to deepen the critical insight, advanced knowledge, and specialized competencies of architecture graduates. The program responds to the contemporary imperative for architects to critically examine, interrogate, and advance particular dimensions of architectural practice, research, and pedagogy.

The revised program framework is anchored in an integrated approach to graduate studies, wherein selected courses are shared and aligned with those offered in the Master of Tropical Landscape Architecture (MTLA) program. This structure is intended to cultivate a collaborative and multi-level academic and research environment characterized by intellectual exchange, interdisciplinary engagement, and rigorous scholarly discourse among graduate students across related fields.

This integrated framework enhances program flexibility and supports the exploration of diverse and innovative research directions, thereby expanding opportunities for advanced design inquiry and meaningful policy intervention within the designed and built environment.

Correlate the elements of classical and current architectural theories, and how they affect humans, their
environment, and their future.

Assess components of architecture towards socio-culturally responsive and relevant design and built
environments.

Formulate designs or design frameworks for tackling complex spatial issues.
