Program Overview
Find your voice in architectural design!
At the Soheil Abedian School of Architecture, we locate postgraduate architectural design centrally at the core of our academic and professional education that exists in a rich cross-disciplinary situation with complex networks of knowledge, processes, and application. We develop the student’s architectural orientation, and graduates will have an original, individual architectural design acumen that allows them to engage with meaningful initiative in 21st Century architecture. Our program educates the global architect for regional, national, and international contexts.
The Master of Architecture develops the emerging architectural professional and challenges the individual to discover or develop a personal stake in the architectural world. As the undergraduate degree prepares a student with transferable skills and knowledge, this postgraduate program develops from that platform and is differentiated by the exploration of cutting edge architecture through specialised abilities and inclinations whilst encouraging an original voice in architectural design in a supportive and provocative environment. As a boutique institution, the Soheil Abedian School of Architecture has developed partnerships with leading schools, educators, and professionals and we embrace a variety of design pedagogies, which in turn are made available in our courses.
