Qualification and professional pathway
Pathway is classified only from a statement on an official page. A degree title such as B.Arch, BA, BSc, M.Arch or MSc does not decide it, and no degree by itself grants permission to practise as an architect.
- Degree level

- Pathway

- Why we classify it this way
- The page says the Master of Architecture (Professional) is required to become a professional architect.“To become a professional architect, you require the Master of Architecture (Professional)”Source
- Previous architecture degree required

Fees and costs
Original currency is authoritative. Each price keeps its basis (per year, per credit, whole program), academic year and student category, and is never converted. Annual tuition and whole-program tuition are different figures.
| Item | Amount | Applies to | Dated |
|---|---|---|---|
| Annual fee, 2026 (indicative; excludes student services fee)Tuition | NZ$10,158per year, 2026 | Domestic students | 19 October 2026Source |

No total is shown: the sources do not state a whole-program figure and the published duration and fee basis do not support a calculation.
Studio fees, materials, model-making, printing, software, equipment, field trips and residencies are not listed by the institution on the pages we checked; architecture students often meet such costs.
Sources and verification
Not published on the program’s source pages: whether a previous architecture degree is required, accreditation or validation record.
