Program details

Overview

The PhD in Architecture trains researchers to respond to evolving needs in the built environment, with research areas spanning physical ambiances, construction innovation, virtual architecture and digital fabrication, and urban design. The 90-credit programme is estimated to take four years of full-time study and culminates in an original doctoral thesis. Applicants must hold a master's degree in architecture, urban design, urban planning, or land use planning, with a cumulative average of at least 3.33 out of 4.33, and must submit examples of written work, publications, and architectural projects; a faculty research supervisor must be confirmed, and preparatory coursework may be required, before admission. Instruction is delivered in French, so written and spoken mastery of French is essential; candidates must also demonstrate English comprehension through the Versant English Placement Test (minimum 53/70) or an equivalent TOEIC score (minimum 675/990). The programme admits students in the fall and winter sessions.
