Master of Architecture (Professional) and Urban Planning (Professional)
The Master of Architecture (Professional) and Urban Planning (Professional) (MArch(Prof)UrbPlan(Prof)) will give you a sound platform for the realities of contemporary practice.
In less time than it takes to complete the two degrees separately, you will gain the qualification necessary to practice as a professional architect*, and the skills to shape the economic, social, environmental and cultural development of our urban spaces.
This programme has received its professional accreditation and is recognised by the New Zealand Registered Architects Board (NZRAB), the New Zealand Institute of Architects (NZIA) and the Commonwealth Association of Architects (CAA), as well as the New Zealand Planning Institute (NZPI).
*If you wish to become a practising architect, you must complete this programme (or any of our MArch(Prof) programmes) as well as additional requirements from the registration boards.
