Architecture (MArch)
Get the education you need to realize your goal of becoming a professional architect.
Why choose this program?
In the Master of Architecture program, you will select courses in design, humanities, and technology, plus electives (including the School's famous Free Lab) that support your individual interests.
The co-op work term enables you to work anywhere in the world. The design thesis gives you the opportunity to focus on a significant topic.
Careers
After receiving a professional architecture degree, a MArch graduate typically works in an architectural office and may do professional examinations two years later to become a registered architect. Most of our MArch graduates pursue careers in architectural practice.
Admission requirements
You'll need to meet the Faculty of Graduate Studies minimum requirements as well as any program-specific admissions requirements before you can apply.
