The Ph.D. in Architecture is a research degree with a thesis, the foundations for which are developed through a series of courses taken in the first two years of study. Each student meets regularly with the supervisor in the first year to prepare the thesis proposal (ARCH 700). Three Literature Review preparatory courses (ARCH 721, ARCH 722, ARCH 723) and three (or more) complementary courses are taken in the first two years of study. All students also participate in the two Research Seminars (ARCH 711, ARCH 712) to present the research framework and objectives for peer critique. By the end of the second year of studies (Ph.D.-3), the student must complete the Comprehensive Examination (ARCH 701) with a formal presentation to an Advisory Committee.

Additional Requirements:

Curriculum Vitae
Applicants are required to upload unofficial transcripts from all universities previously attended. If you are recommended for admission you will later be required to supply official transcripts. Transcripts in languages other than English or French must be accompanied by an English or French translation provided by the institution issuing the transcript or by a certified translator. Please refer to mcgill.ca/gradapplicants/apply/ready/submit/upload and mcgill.ca/gradapplicants/apply/prepare/checklist/documents.
Two confidential letters of reference are required for your application. Once you have identified your referees (you must provide a valid institutional email address for each referee), McGill will send them an email asking for a reference in support of your application. Additionally, uploaded letters must be on university or company/business stationery and the referee must indicate his/her position and full contact information at the institution. Please refer to mcgill.ca/gradapplicants/apply/prepare/checklist/documents.
Research proposal: a four-page research proposal, as well as a detailed explanation of why and with whom they wish to study at McGill University’s Peter Guo-hua Fu School of Architecture.
A digital portfolio (PDF format) of not more than 15 MB must be submitted containing at least five examples of the applicant's work. Doctoral applicants should submit evidence of research accomplishments, which could, in some cases, replace the portfolio requirement.
Written work: a sample of the applicant’s written work, drawn from essays, papers, or other work previously submitted for academic evaluation or publication, and falling within the desired field of graduate study.
