Toronto Metropolitan's Department of Architectural Science (DAS) is the only school in Canada with a unique interdisciplinary model that integrates across three disciplines: architecture, building science and project management. Our undergraduate program (BArchSc) enables you to choose the specialty that best suits you, and our highly selective graduate programs in architecture (MArch and PhD) and building science (MBSc, MASc and PhD) give you the opportunity to become a skilled professional and design leader.
Through our partnerships, you will work with prominent professionals, government agencies and developers to get your vision and solutions out into the world—and that’s before you graduate. After, your career options will be vast, from working in an architecture practice, to supervision in general construction, to product manufacturing or leading your own consultancy.
Whatever path you follow, at DAS you will receive guidance from world-renowned faculty, use advanced technologies, and learn how to think critically and collaboratively. Our extensive theoretical, technological and experiential approach to education ensures that you will understand every stage of a project, from concept to completion. In short, you’ll be qualified to design, detail and deliver on every project you undertake.
The program in architecture at Toronto Metropolitan University is fully accredited, for a six-year term, by the Canadian Architectural Certification Board (CACB).
