Architecture combines creative practices of architectural design with the cultural, social, technical and sustainability issues of the built environment.

In this course you will study the relationship between the natural and constructed environment, the architectural proposition and the occupation of space.

This degree is taught by academic staff, industry practitioners and guest lecturers, and is a pathway for the two-year accredited Master of Architecture qualification.

Curtin's architecture students benefit from valuable industry experiences. For example, design company GHDWoodhead and government entity Water Corporation have both provided hands-on design opportunities to Curtin students.

Curtin students have also enjoyed opportunities to work with key industry consultants such as Woods Bagot, Cox and Hassell.

Professional recognition

To pursue a career as an architect in Australia, you must be registered with the relevant state’s Architects’ Board. Curtin’s accredited Master of Architecture program, when combined with relevant professional experience and successful completion of the Architectural Practice Examination, fulfils one of the pathways to registration.
