Architecture Schools in Canada

Studying architecture abroad can be an exciting and rewarding experience. You can learn a new language, experience a new culture, and explore new geographies (not to mention the academic benefits). A tolerant and multi-cultural society, Canadian architecture embraces the country’s natural environment and diverse society with a number of architectural programs at the Bachelor, Master and PHD levels. Each school has its own unique philosophy for educational instruction and you don’t need to worry about language if you’re reading this because most programs are provided in English.

For this article, what we’ve done is identify the schools and provide you with the fundamental information you need to learn more. There are links to each school where you can read in more detail about the course offerings and educational prerogatives.
