Architecture

Faculty of Architecture and Planning

Master of Architecture (MArch)
Master of Environmental Design Studies (MEDS)

Overview

Architecture is a challenging, well-rounded discipline. By studying architecture, students develop their artistic skill, knowledge of history and technology, social and cultural awareness, and critical imagination. Architectural design typically involves drawing and model-making, by hand or with a computer. At times it may also involve on-site construction with full-scale materials.

Facilities

One-third of the Architecture building is devoted to studio spaces open to Architecture students twenty-four hours a day. The building also has several computer labs with a wide array of equipment, as well as a fully-equipped woodworking shop, photographic facilities, and a large exhibition hall. The University Library’s Architecture collection is located nearby.

Admission Requirements

Candidates must satisfy the general requirements for admission to the Faculty of Graduate Studies. A design portfolio is needed for application to the MArch program. A design portfolio is optional for the MEDS program.

Application Deadline

The deadline to apply to this program is February 1st for Canadian and American students, December 1st for international students.
