The School of Architecture welcomes applications from transfer students who have already completed university-level architecture courses at another architecture school in Canada or abroad. Admission and level of entry in the BEDS/MArch program are based on:

• academic standing (3.30 GPA is expected for admission at an advanced level)
• courses completed elsewhere that are equivalent to architecture courses at 果酱视频 (which may include integration of the subject into the process of architectural design)
  
• level of achievement in your architectural design portfolio
• total years of university completed, including non-architectural subjects (general studies)
  
• English language proficiency for students whose first language is not English (IELTS 7.0, TOEFL 92 iBT, etc.)
  

To maintain professional accreditation standards, the School cannot offer a level of entry that would permit a student to obtain the MArch degree with less than six full years of university. Please note that admission is competitive and places in the program are limited.

Application Deadlines

Transfer applications from students who have already completed university-level architecture courses are reviewed three times each year. For an application to be considered, all items must be received by February 1, June 1, or October 1.
