STUDIO FIRST is an intensive five-week studio in architectural design for students from a wide range of backgrounds who are considering graduate studies in architecture, urban design, or landscape architecture. The program will allow students to immerse themselves in studio culture and determine whether architecture is the right path to follow.
Did you know that a Master of Architecture professional degree is available to students with an honours undergraduate major in any field? STUDIO FIRST provides a post-baccalaureate “bridge” from an undergraduate degree in any field toward entrance into a three-year accredited professional degree in architecture.
The main goal of the program is to allow participants the opportunity to generate portfolio material appropriate for application to a three-year Master of Architecture accredited degree program or any of the environmental design fields. STUDIO FIRST includes access to architectural software, lectures in the theory and practice of architecture, as well as workshops in digital applications, portfolio preparation, and writing statements of interest.
