Quick Facts
Master of architecture, program description.
The Master of Architecture (MArch) is a professional degree program and provides a thorough base of knowledge in history, theory, technology, ecology, society, and professional practice, while developing skills in design through an intensive sequence of design studio courses. These are supported by courses in visual communication and architectural representation including computer modelling and other new media. The program aims to develop critical, creative, and independent thinking and research that responds to current design issues and societal changes. The greater Toronto region is used as an urban laboratory for the development of new knowledge and forms of practice.
In Canada, the Canadian Architectural Certification Board (CACB) is the sole agency authorized by the Canadian Architectural Licensing Authorities (CALA) to accredit Canadian professional degree programs in architecture for the purposes of architectural licensure.
MArch Program (3-Year Option)
The 3-year option within the MArch program is accredited by the Canadian Architectural Certification Board. Graduates are eligible to begin the process of professional licensure to become an Architect in North America. The qualification is also transferable to many other countries and regions; students are advised to inquire with their local licensing body.
Minimum Admission Requirements
Applicants are admitted under the General Regulations of the School of Graduate Studies. Applicants must also satisfy the Faculty of Architecture, Landscape, and Design's additional admission requirements stated below.
A bachelor's degree (BA, BSc, BASc, BES, BFA, BCom) with a final-year grade point average of at least mid-B.
Recommended: courses in secondary calculus, secondary physics, and university-level architectural history (0.5 full-course equivalent [FCE]).
Some preparation or experience in architectural design or the creative arts is encouraged, but not required, such as hand or digital drawing, film or animation, graphic design, or sculpture. This program is suitable for those without formal training in design or the arts; graduates of any discipline are encouraged to apply.
Applicants whose primary language is not English and who graduated from a university where the language of instruction and examination was not English must demonstrate proficiency in English. See General Regulations section 4.3 for requirements.
Program Requirements
The course of study is a rigorous full-time, comprehensive program and prepares graduates for the full range of professional activities in architecture. The core program is extensive, and students are required to use their electives to develop an area of special skill and knowledge through an independent study program that culminates in a design thesis.
Students study full-time, taking all required courses in each given session. An FZ (fail) in any one course, or a B– grade in two studio courses or in any three courses normally results in a recommendation to the School of Graduate Studies to terminate the student's registration in the degree program.
There is no additional language requirement other than proficiency in English on admission. Writing support is integrated into the program to develop specialized skills that are essential to effective learning and communication in the design fields.
Progress in the program is dependent upon satisfactory completion of studio and required core courses in sequence. Exceptions can be made at the discretion of the Program Director, and in consultation with the Office of the Registrar and Student Services in the case of accessibility.
Students who complete their Master of Architecture program and are eligible to graduate will have their relevant information automatically forwarded by the John H. Daniels Faculty of Architecture, Landscape, and Design to the Canadian Architectural Certification Board (CACB) , unless the student opts out in writing. The certification confirms the individual’s academic qualifications in compliance with the Canadian Education Standard (CES) in Architecture for entry to the profession. CACB grants and issues certification to applicants who meet the Education Standard and maintains a National Register of those certified and confidential records of all pertinent documentation for all applicants.

Future graduate students
The professional Master of Architecture degree prepares graduate students for entry into the profession of architecture. It offers an extension of the knowledge base required of practicing professionals to students with a pre-professional undergraduate degree in Architecture from an accredited university program.
Combining elements of a professional master's program and a research-oriented master's program, the Waterloo Master of Architecture offers a unique opportunity to engage in self-directed research and develop a minimum three term independent research and design thesis while completing the required coursework for professional preparation. The program supports the development of critical thinking in architecture. While it introduces students, through coursework, to the ethical, legal, administrative and practical aspects of the profession, the program builds upon a firm commitment toward architecture as a cultural act and practice. As such, the Waterloo MArch professional degree focuses on preparing students for a future that can only be constructed with the accumulated material of our collective cultural histories.

Accreditation information
The professional Master of Architecture in conjunction with the pre-professional Bachelor of Architectural Studies degree from the University of Waterloo compromises an accredited professional education.
In Canada, all provincial/territorial associations/institutes/orders recommend a degree from an accredited professional degree program as a prerequisite for licensure. In Canada, the Canadian Architectural Certification Board (CACB) is the sole agency authorized by the Regulatory Organization of Architecture in Canada (ROAC) to accredit Canadian professional degree programs in architecture for the purposes of architectural licensure. The CACB recognizes two types of accredited degrees offered at the University of Waterloo School of Architecture: the Master of Architecture (professional) and the Bachelor of Architecture (pre-professional). A program may be granted a six-year, three-year, or two-year term of accreditation, depending on its degree of conformance with established educational standards.
Master’s degree programs may consist of a pre-professional undergraduate degree and a professional graduate degree, which, when earned sequentially, comprise an accredited professional education. However, the pre-professional degree is not, by itself, recognized as an accredited degree.
The program in Architecture at the University of Waterloo received accreditation for a 6-year term by the Canadian Architectural Certification Board (CACB) in 2017. The program is scheduled for its next review to continue maintaining its accredited status in 2024.

Grad profile: Landscape Architecture grad embraces unexpected opportunities
Kai king, faculty of agriculture.
Anastasiia Merkureva - May 21, 2024
This article is part of a series focusing on the grads of the Dalhousie Class of 2024. Spring Convocation runs from May 21 to 31 in Halifax and Truro. Read all our profiles here in one place as they are published, and for more information visit the Convocation website .
Kai King's path to success centers on embracing unexpected opportunities. From meeting landscape architecture visionaries to exploring Māori influence on the industry in New Zealand, an openness to experiences has shaped their path. Initially aiming for a career in medicine, Kai earned a bachelor’s degree in Neuroscience from Memorial University of Newfoundland. After graduating, he traveled across North America and worked on farms. This journey led him to an organic farm in Newfoundland, near a landscaping company where he was later hired as a master grower. There, he discovered a passion for landscaping after meeting a landscape architect. “It was an organic melding of two parts of myself that allowed me to be creative and do research.” They wanted to continue to work with coastal landscapes and local plants, so they decided to find a university within the Atlantic provinces. The Landscape Architecture program at Dalhousie was a perfect fit.
Hands-on projects
“Dalhousie has been really great in showing me the business side of things,” they say. “I've created beautiful connections with instructors Tracy McKenzie, Karen Smith, Ed Versteeg, Corey Dawson, Rick LeBrasseur — all those people have helped me figure out what I'm passionate about in this field.” Kai loved the studio courses, as they allowed him to implement knowledge through problem-solving design. He was particularly proud of two projects. “We designed a flood mitigation strategy for the Sackville River, following the flooding issues they had last year. That felt pertinent, something that could have a huge impact.” The other project focused on land restoration and indigenous design. Kai was one of the few Dalhousie Indigenous students who took a trip to New Zealand to study the way Māori culture is represented through the university of Wellington. He took the opportunity to connect with Māori landscape architects.
Identity and connection
Kai reflects on how their Qalipu Mi’kmaq identity influenced the way they worked on projects. “Generally, we see the world as having multiple different parts that all work together towards one greater goal,” they say. “I think a lot of landscape architects are constantly thinking about how they can improve the world. And although your design caters towards someone who's elderly, for example, or someone who's disabled, that design will actually impact a bunch of other people positively.” Ed Versteeg, senior instructor in the Landscape Architecture program, says Kai's work emphasizes accessibility. “In his final design course, Kai set out an exciting vision for the renewal of a local town’s main street," says Prof. Versteeg. "His work celebrated the unique mining history of the community, created inclusive and accessible public spaces for all people, and provided ways to reduce the impacts of urban run-off on the local river. Kai’s work shows how landscape architecture can help create dynamic and sustainable settlements.”
Finding inspiration
After graduation, Kai plans to continue their education at the University of Toronto. They made this decision after connecting with Claude Cormier, a celebrated Canadian landscape architect, after his lecture at Dalhousie in 2022. (Cormier would, sadly, pass away only a year later.) “He talked about landscape architecture with such passion and creativity. He pushed the boundaries of what landscapes mean,” said Kai. “He had encouraged me to get my master's at the University of Toronto because it would help me to build my creativity and to network with people who were similar… After he passed away, I kind of felt like it was serendipitous.” Cormier’s vision, the guidance of Dalhousie’s instructors, and learning through community-improvement projects all shaped the kind of professional Kai wants to become. “I have a good foundation, but I really want to be able to bring all of that forward in a way that's really impactful and meaningful on a large scale to indigenous people, to queer people — to people who are underrepresented in our society.”
The power of the authentic self
Kai encourages future students of Landscape Architecture to say yes to the opportunities, network, be curious about other people’s passions, and not be shy to show their authentic selves. “I think that being someone who is neurodivergent and/or a part of the queer community, and returning to university as a mature student, it can be difficult to open up to other students,” they share.
“I am shy and was afraid to show my authentic self because I thought I wouldn't be accepted. There's this idea around small farming communities such as Truro being really conservative, but people were a lot more accepting and supportive than I had thought. There's a community of people who will back you up, support you, and be really proud to see you grow and flourish as your most authentic self.”
