Master of Architecture

The Master of Architecture (M.Arch) is an accredited professional degree program committed to preparing future architects for a culturally rich, technologically dynamic, and globalized world. A rigorous studio and research pedagogy invites students to take critical positions on design, culture, technology, and the city. Students may apply for a two-year or a three-year professional Master of Architecture degree.  The 3-year professional Master’s degree is offered for students who do not have an undergraduate background in architecture. At the Azrieli School of Architecture and Urbanism, we prepare students for a future in the profession and provide an extraordinary foundation for a multitude of interdisciplinary and related design fields. We offer a professional accredited Master in Architecture (2-year and 3-year streams). All of our programs stress creativity and innovation within theoretical and practical parameters. Graduates within the School can also pursue a Graduate Diploma in Architectural Conservation. The 2-year and 3-year MArch programs also offer a specialization in Climate Change and Accessibility. The Azrieli School of Architecture & Urbanism also offers Studio First, an intensive immersion studio for participants with no formal academic background in architecture. This is the first program of its kind in Canada. The main goal of the program is to allow participants the opportunity to generate portfolio material appropriate for application to the three-year professional Master of Architecture degree, and to experience the quality of intensive studio culture.
