The MArchEng contains two parts:

• Part I of the Master of Architectural Engineering is made up of two compulsory courses on collaborative building design, and two practice-focused courses towards an endorsement.

• Part II of the Master of Architectural Engineering is made up of advanced technical courses towards an endorsement, and an integrated building design project.
   

Students who complete Part I of the Structural Engineering or Building Services and Energy Engineering endorsements have the flexibility to progress to Part II of these endorsements, or to Part II of the Integrated Building Design endorsement.
 

Both Parts must be completed within 4 years. Full-time and part-time study options are available. Courses are delivered as a blend of online and face-to-face block learning to assist participation for at-work students.
 

Students in the Integrated Building Design endorsement can start their studies in February or July; students in the other endorsement options start in July.
 

You can receive your Master’s in the following endorsements:

• Integrated Building Design

• Structural Engineering (August start only)

• Building Services and Energy Engineering (to be confirmed for an August 2022 start)

The MArchEng requires 120 points of coursework. Topics available may include human factors in building design, building modelling and integrated design, building environmental control, and structural assessment and retrofit.
 

Part I:

All students complete the following:
 

• ENAE601 Whole Building Behaviour and Performance

• ENAE602 Collaborative Building Design Studio
