The Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in Architecture offered by the Peter Guo-hua Fu School of Architecture in the Faculty of Engineering is a research-intensive program that emphasizes rigorous and thought-provoking learning opportunities. The program's objective is to equip students with skills in original thinking, literature review, and information synthesis to pursue professional opportunities in academia or industry.

Unique Program Features

The School operates a number of important auxiliary facilities that include workshops, research labs, and other resources that support both teaching and learning activities in addition to research activities;
Students benefit from access to The Blackader-Lauterman Library of Architecture and Art, the John Bland Canadian Architecture Collection, The Architecture Slide Library, and The Orson Wheeler Architectural Model Collection;
Our program is accredited by the Canadian Architectural Certification Board (CACB) and is recognized as accredited by the National Council of Architectural Registration Boards (NCARB) in the U.S. (Note: while graduation from a CACB-accredited program does not assure registration, the accrediting process is intended to verify that each accredited program substantially meets those standards that, as a whole, comprise an appropriate education for an architect).

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.
