Overview

Master of Architecture

The Master of Architecture (MArch) graduate degree program at UBC offers an accredited three-year curriculum. 

This professional course of study is highly demanding with a large proportion of the curriculum being required coursework

Design studios are integrated with courses in architecture history and theory, technical and material systems, and design media and representation. 

Each student furthers their network by working with full-time faculty and the local professional design community who are active participants in studio reviews, graduation project committees, and the mentorship program. 

Within the Faculty of Applied Science, students have access to a research library ranked among the best in Canada and other faculty in engineering or community and regional planning. 

With Study Abroad, there are opportunities to be engaged with the ever-changing cultural concerns in architecture and landscape architecture. 

The full program is 119 credits

Students entering the program with an undergraduate degree normally take three and one-half years of full-time study to complete the requirements. 

Students holding a pre-professional architecture degree will be considered for advanced placement.
