Program details
Overview
This program leads to a Bachelor of Architectural Science (Honours), offered full-time over four years, with an optional fifth co-op year; a part-time format is not available. The curriculum integrates architecture, building science, and project management, developing skills in design, technical detailing, and sustainable building practices through design studios and digital modeling techniques. The first year introduces sustainable design practices and the built environment. Students choose a concentration in Architecture, Building Science, or Project Management. Co-op placements are optional and paid, and students may take part in design-build initiatives and international exchanges. Admission is assessed on academic grades together with a required portfolio demonstrating creative ability, alongside completion of Grade 12 physics and mathematics. The credential is recognized by the Canadian Architectural Certification Board as pre-professional, becoming fully accredited when combined with the Master of Architecture. The program is based on the Toronto campus. It suits students with strong academic standing and demonstrated design ability, and prepares graduates for roles such as architect, building scientist, construction project manager, and policy researcher.

Applicants must also submit a portfolio of creative work samples and a home exercise with writing sample, due 1 February 2027 or 10 business days from the application submission date, whichever is later. The university's general English proficiency guideline applies: IELTS Academic 6.5 overall with no minimum band requirement, TOEFL iBT 92, Duolingo English Test 120, PTE Academic 60, CAEL 70 (Architectural Science is excluded from the reduced Engineering & Science tier used by most other BEng programs).
Application Details
Application Deadline:Toronto Metropolitan University sets one guaranteed-consideration date for both domestic and international applicants applying for Fall 2027 entry: complete applications and amendments received by 1 February 2027 receive equal consideration for admission, and TMU says this same date applies to 'all domestic & international applicants.' Non-academic ('Grades-Plus') requirements are generally due around this point too, though the exact date varies by programme. For Winter 2027 (January-start) entry, TMU's program-status page gives domestic applicants a guaranteed-consideration date of 1 December 2026, with most programmes closing applications in mid-December; a limited number of programmes separately accept international applications for winter admission subject to space availability, but TMU publishes no fixed closing date for those international winter applicants. Admission is not rolling: late applications are considered only as space allows after the guaranteed-consideration date. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
