The Architectural Discourse postgraduate research stream encompasses architectural history, architectural theory, design discourses and architectural criticism. Postgraduate candidates in this stream undertake individually supervised research on candidate proposed and negotiated topics.

RMIT Architecture has maintained a particular focus on the archiving of local architectural practice histories, and on the theorising of emerging design practices, particularly in the context of contemporary urban conditions and in response to emerging digital technologies. Architectural discourse candidates are primarily working in one of these areas.

Most discourse candidates are working in the thesis mode and submit a written thesis. A small number of candidates are engaging in research by project, or in a hybrid model of a thesis with a project-based research component.
