Postgraduate Programmes [Degrees] at the Faculty of Art, Design and Architecture 3 | 2023 | The Graduate School of Architecture (GSA) was founded as an autonomous school within the Department of Architecture, Faculty of Art, Design and Architecture (FADA), at the University of Johannesburg in September 2015, offering post graduate studies in architecture. In six years, it has quadrupled its intake of Master’s students, making it now one of the largest postgraduate schools in the country. In 2016, the GSA was formally awarded GES Flagship Status within the University, attracting greater funding opportunities and also increased responsibility for providing innovative new directions in teaching and scholarship. The GSA offers a range of postgraduate programmes aimed at students interested in pursuing careers as registered architects as well as those interested in specialised advanced study. The GSA’s main programme is the combined BArch Hons and the MArch, the professionally-accredited two-year Master’s programme leading to candidate architect status as defined by the South African Council for the Architecture Profession (SACAP). In 2022, we expect to cap intake at 115 full-time students. Our pass-rate since 2015 has been at 99%. In order to be considered for the programme, students applying to the GSA must have completed an undergraduate course in architecture. Photographer: Tristan McLaren 2017 & 2018.
