The professional Master of Architecture (MARC) degree at the University of Toronto’s John H. Daniels Faculty of Architecture, Landscape and Design prepares graduate students for the practice of architecture.

The three-year programme aims to develop critical, creative and independent thinking and research that responds to current design issues and societal and environmental changes.

Students gain knowledge in architecture via a comprehensive sequence of foundational courses in design, representation, theory, history, criticism, structures, technics, computation, city planning and professional practice.

The core education is supplemented by optional courses that further expand architectural education beyond its traditional boundaries, positioning the practice of architecture as a culture-making agent engaged in the complex issues of our contemporary world, including (but not limited to) climate change, social equity and cultural reconciliation.

The programme culminates with a thesis project developed under the supervision of specialised faculty during the final year of study.
