The Doctor of Philosophy in Architecture, Landscape, and Design is a research-based program offered by the Faculty of Architecture, Landscape, and Design, addressing cultural, social, environmental, historical, and technological questions in architecture, landscape, and urban design from an intra-disciplinary perspective. It is intended for students preparing for careers that require a combined approach to research across design and related disciplines, including academia, consulting, cultural institutions, non-profits, and government. The program is full-time, normally begins in September, runs four years, and is delivered in person. Applicants propose a research topic aligned with the interests of at least one member of the PhD standing committee, and the admissions committee confirms supervisor commitment before an offer is made. The program culminates in a doctoral thesis that is reviewed and defended before it is submitted for examination, followed by a formal Doctoral Final Oral Examination.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Applicants require an appropriate master's degree with a minimum average of A-minus. A professional degree in a design discipline is preferred, though applicants with a master's degree in a related humanities or social science discipline may be considered, with an additional program of study proposed for those without professional training. Applications require a writing sample such as a substantial research paper or publication, three reference letters, and a two-page research proposal identifying a topic, possible sub-fields, and potential supervisors.
