Master in Graduate Diploma in Architecture

Students gain fundamental knowledge and understanding of Architecture, including design, history, construction technology, communications, and urban sustainability. This two-semester program serves as an entry pathway to an accredited Master of Architecture for students who have an undergraduate degree in a discipline other than Architecture. Students will collaborate with colleagues from the bachelor and master’s programs to develop blue-sky designs for public spaces. And, in Bond’s small group classes, you’ll be mentored by internationally acclaimed designers, award-winning architects and globally connected academic-practitioners.
