Course Information

Become an expert in the science of the built environment and increase your understanding of the connections between architecture, engineering, testing and building research.

You’ll explore building construction and performance, how building materials function, sustainability in the industry and the relationship between buildings and the environment. Learn to question, test and explain these elements and become confident in your knowledge as an architectural scientist.

Choose from a selection of qualifications to suit your career goals and time availability.

The Master of Architectural Science is professionally recognised by the New Zealand Institute of Building (NZIOB).

Transform the world we live in

Gain an insight into the interplay between people, buildings and culture. You’ll consider many perspectives including the important role of tikanga and matauranga Māori in architectural design and decision-making.

You’ll also get a practical grounding in how buildings impact on the natural world through their design, construction, operation and maintenance, with the option to specialise in Project Management or Sustainable Engineering Systems.
