Hons in Architectural Studies is a honours degree in Architecture programme offered by University of Toronto in Toronto, Canada. Tuition for international students is CAD 66,350 per year.
Architectural Studies at the University of Toronto is an Honours Bachelor of Arts Specialist program offered at the St. George campus through the Daniels Faculty of Architecture, Landscape, and Design. It is available only as a Specialist, with no Major or Minor option at this level. Ontario applicants need an Ontario Secondary School Diploma with six courses at the 4U/M level, including English, and the co-op component of Grade 12 courses is not used for admission. A supplemental application is required, which includes an English-language assessment component. The program sits within the university's broader design-related areas of study, alongside programs described as combining creative thinking and critical analysis to explore design in both digital and physical contexts. It suits students seeking an undergraduate foundation in architecture and the built environment at the Specialist level, intended as preparation for further study or professional training in architecture and related design fields rather than a terminal professional architecture credential on its own.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: This program follows U of T's Ontario baseline: Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) with six 4U/M courses including English (ENG4U/EAE4U); the co-op component of a Grade 12 course is excluded from admission consideration. The program page lists no additional subject prerequisite beyond English. As a design-focused program it requires a supplemental application; the future.utoronto.ca overview does not detail its content, so applicants should consult the Daniels Faculty's own admissions pages for the supplemental component and any portfolio expectations. No minimum grade percentage is published. International applicants apply through the same OUAC system with the equivalent senior secondary credential. Applicants whose first language is not English must meet the University's general proficiency minimums (IELTS Academic 6.5 with no band below 6.0, or TOEFL iBT 89 overall with 22 in Speaking and Writing for tests before 21 January 2026).
Application Details
Application Deadline:Application deadline 15 January 2027 for domestic and international applicants; the One Idea supplementary application is due 1 February 2027.
