Education and research in the Master’s Program of Architectural Design is intended to foster a high level of professional ability in architectural design, through advanced educational methods and practical architectural design training.
With a focus on integrated competence, professional architects will be taken to the leading edge of 21st century design, to be able to better manage housing and building environment, to potentially revitalize certain industry sectors. Students in the program will be exposed to all aspects related to high-quality life styles, global symbiosis, energy efficiency, and the preservation/conservation of cultural traditions.

What is Architecture?
Architecture is the design of the built environment: buildings, groups of buildings, communities, and their surroundings. As a profession, it is an art, science, and business with careers available in private firms, government, theater and film, industrial corporations, public and private institutions, schools of architecture, and in architectural research.
This is a four-year pre-professional program that prepares you for the two-year Master of Architecture program (accredited by the National Architectural Accrediting Board) offered at Miami. Miami has established this “four-plus-two” system to ensure that undergraduate students gain much more than a strictly technical or vocational education. Instead, you will graduate with a well-rounded liberal arts education plus research skills and design training that make you competitive and marketable to graduate schools as well as in professional practice. About 80 percent of our graduating seniors go on to master’s programs at Miami or other universities.
What are the features of Miami’s program?
Interdisciplinary approach: Because architecture students especially need to see the connections between various disciplines, the first-year studio is an interdisciplinary studio, drawing both teaching staff and design problems from architecture, interior design, graphic design, industrial design, and the studio arts.
Studio focus: The Department of Architecture and Interior Design at Miami in some ways resembles a large architectural office with small design studios working on projects at many levels. In the junior and senior years, 12 to 15 students are assigned to one faculty member in studio. The small size encourages both the exchange of ideas and intense effort. Because students often work long hours in the studio, the architecture and interior design building is secured but available to majors 24 hours a day. The studio becomes a community of individual effort and mutual support.
Internships: The Department of Architecture and Interior Design can help place you with an architectural firm where you can be employed during summer breaks. This can provide you with some professional experience before you move on to graduate studies.
Are there special admission requirements?
Yes, because the study of architecture requires special potential, admission to the major is selective. Your credentials will be reviewed both by the Office of Admission and the Department of Architecture and Interior Design. Admission to the program is based on scholastic achievement, creative potential, and university admission and is only granted fall semester.
What courses would I take?
During the first two years of the architecture program, you will take courses in graphic media, introductory principles of structural and mechanical systems, and history and theory of architecture, as well as four architectural design studios. You will also develop a palette of traditional and digital graphic techniques. These include common commercial software applications such as Form·Z, AutoCAD, Photoshop, Dreamweaver, and Lightscape.
In your junior and senior years, you choose courses in specified areas: design studios, history, urban studies, landscape, theory and philosophy, graphic communication, and the building sciences. As part of Miami’s liberal education requirement, you will also complete a sequence of courses in advanced liberal learning and a capstone experience.
What can I do with this major?
With training in architecture, you are prepared to work in many fields. In addition to careers with private architectural firms, students can pursue jobs in commercial, industrial, and retail design; facilities management; real estate and development; engineering; sales and manufacturing; and museum and gallery management, design, and installation. You can also become a historian, theorist, or critic.
Many who graduate with architecture degrees however, need to become licensed as architects. In order to do so, official documented experience as an intern in an architectural firm along with a professional degree in architecture is required. This combination of academic preparation and practical experience qualifies you to take the state licensing examination. The purpose of professional licensure and registration is to ensure public safety and health in the built environment.

Course description
This course allows students to take advantage of La Trobe’s world-renowned expertise in archaeology. It provides a global perspective on world history, from our earliest ancestors in Africa and the key developments in farming and city life through to the modern world. Students gain strong theoretical knowledge in a broad range of subjects (including the major subject streams of Australia, ancient civilisations, and Palaeolithic), as well as training in the practical aspects of archaeological research. Students are also able to actively participate in field and laboratory research.

The Archaeology Program has close connections with Aboriginal Affairs Victoria and Heritage Victoria, as well as active student exchange agreements with major institutions in China, England, France, the Netherlands, Cyprus and Mexico. A formal co-operation agreement also exists with the heritage management consultancy Godden Mackay Logan Pty Ltd, which provides practical commercial experience for students. Indigenous Australian archaeology forms an important part of our teaching and research, with ongoing fieldwork in Victoria, New South Wales, Tasmania, Northern Queensland and South Australia.

First year studies include:
Discovering Archaeology
Dawn of Humanity
The Archaeology of Ancient Civilisations
Plus five electives selected on advice, from appropriate units in (for example) History, Art History, Anthropology, Greek studies or Geology.
Second and third years: Students select units based around a particular stream of archaeology:
Australian
Civilisation
Palaeolithic/Hunter Gatherer.
Students also complete the core unit Approaches to Archaeological Research at third year level.

Landscape architects create attractive and functional designs to meet the needs of residential and commercial property owners. This field combines art and science and deals with the complex relationships between man-made features and natural environments. The Landscape Architecture Program can provide you with the academic and professional training you need to design a niche for yourself in the industry.
Landscape architect technicians and designers are employed by engineering firms, parks and recreation departments, landscape contractors, design and build firms, nurseries and garden centers, botanical gardens, and grounds management firms. Landscape architect technicians work with architects, city planners, civil engineers, hydrologists, surveyors, contractors, and environmental engineers. The national employment projection for landscape architects and related fields is expected to increase faster than average through 2016.
Our curriculum covers topics from landscape planning and planting design to cost estimating and computer drafting and design. All of our courses are taught by professionals who pride themselves in sound coursework and take a genuine interest in your studies and your career plans.
Courses for the Landscape Architecture Associate in Applied Science Degree are offered throughout the year. Many are offered evenings as well as days to accommodate your schedule. Spring semester begins in January, summer semester begins in June and fall classes begin in August. Most courses are 12-weeks. Come design with us!
