<p>The personal experience of studying architecture at the Fremantle Campus is enhanced by the historic, artistic, and architectural context of the city. Within the program there are opportunities to undertake studies in the Kimberley, Sydney, and overseas.</p>
<p>The curriculum focuses on diverse graduate employment opportunities and is mapped to the Australian National Standard of Competency for Architects.&nbsp;&nbsp;In addition to gaining professional competencies, you develop high-level strategic research agility, resourcefulness, and design innovation that opens up opportunities within traditional and non-traditional career pathways.</p>
<p>The program covers four key areas:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Design studios, technologies, and applied skills</strong>: Socio-spatial design studios are central to the Fremantle Master of Architecture Program. The studios provide opportunities for you to apply your knowledge, creativity, and strategic problem-solving skills in the design of built environments.</li>
<li><strong>Technology in practice and professional practice:</strong><span>&nbsp;</span>Placements with our professional partners will enable you to work under the direct supervision of an architect in practice, in tandem with your on-campus studies. These placements will offer a range of work-integrated learning experiences in which you can collect evidence to meet the Australian National Standard of Competency for Architects. This integrated approach to delivery ensures the program provides you with relevant and up-to-date professional learning.</li>
<li><strong>Contexts: theory and research of architecture</strong>: you will develop high-level strategic research agility, resourcefulness, and design innovation that will open up opportunities within traditional and non-traditional career pathways. You will engage in traditional and creative-practice research, disseminated through exhibitions, stakeholder engagements, and design competitions.</li>
<li><strong>Core Curriculum</strong>: Notre Dame's Core Curriculum is a distinguishing characteristic of its undergraduate and postgraduate education. You will undertake the course Ethical Issues in Professional Life: Architecture and explore the relationship between moral philosophy and applied ethics in the profession. Throughout the program, you will be challenged to consider critical issues such as power and privilege, identify positive professional values and behaviours, and reflect critically on your impact on people and places, preparing you to be ethically, socially, and environmentally responsible professionals.</li>
</ul>
<p>The strength of this program lies in its unique combination of the following:</p>
<ul>
<li>a small diverse cohort</li>
<li>high-quality teaching approaches</li>
<li>tailored practice placements</li>
<li>socio-spatial design studios that tackle contemporary issues</li>
<li>working within a studio-based, creative-practice research culture</li>
<li>situated and engaged within the Fremantle community.</li>
</ul>
<p>During practice placements, you apply your professional and technical learning in local practices under the supervision of a Registered Architect.</p>
