Master of Urban Design (Architectural & Urban Design)
The Master of Urban Design program develops specialist knowledge and skills in both urban and architectural design. It compresses the essentials of two studio-based graduate areas into two years (four semesters) of full time study. This 96 credit point degree, combining expertise in urban design and enhanced architectural design abilities is unique, and may hold special appeal to international students.
Program Coordinators: Professor Tom Heneghan & Mr Barrie Shelton
Admission Requirements
To apply, you should hold a professional degree in architecture and submit a folio of your work with your application. Your portfolio should show several examples of design and design-related work completed as part of your university studies and/or samples of work from professional or equivalent experience (preferably both). Further, your particular role in producing each item of submitted work should be made clear. The portfolio must be on paper only, consist of approximately 10 A4 or A3 sheets, and include drawings and other relevant items of illustration such as photographs of models, with supporting explanation.
