Architects are creative, accurate and problem solvers by nature. They immerse themselves in new technologies and materials, and push the boundaries. Careers to consider:
Please note: The Master of Architecture is an accredited Australian architecture qualification and provides a pathway to future registration as an architect. Only those practitioners registered with architectural registration boards, including the Architectural Practice Board of South Australia, are entitled to use the title ‘architect’ by law. Graduates of the Bachelor of Architectural Studies may apply for entry into the Master of Architecture. The Graduate Diploma in Design (Interior Architecture), Master of Design (Interior Architecture), Bachelor of Interior Architecture and Diploma of Arts do not qualify graduates to use the title ‘architect’.
