Master Of Built Environment Research

Research in the built environment begins with a concrete task: the Thesis (Building) module and other examination of your unique contribution to the field. This degree programme is for those who want to deepen their understanding of the built environment, perhaps to shape global policy, contribute new knowledge, or deliver community impact. The Faculty of Design, Architecture and Building at UTS supports this through mentorship, networks, and facilities. You'll join a community that includes experts and global networks, all dedicated to the development of sustainable urban environments. As part of this, you'll have the opportunity to delve into specific areas of interest. You'll develop your expertise in your chosen research topic and present your work regularly to a team of experts for assessment, helping to drive sustainable urban development that impacts how we live.
