What it isYou study how to design and restore buildings while minimizing environmental impact, combining architecture, history, and ecological design. This program emphasizes conservation of existing structures and sustainable materials and methods, setting it apart from general architecture programs that focus mainly on new construction. It suits students interested in heritage preservation and green building who want hands-on experience through co-op placements.# Arts Degree (BA) + Master's Degree (MA or MAP or MIPP) You complete a four-year bachelor's degree in one of these humanities or social fields — English, History, languages, Politics, Social Policy, or Religious Studies — then continue directly into a related master's program without applying separately. This combined route saves time and lets you specialize deeper than a BA alone. It suits students who know they want advanced training in humanities or policy work and prefer a streamlined path from undergrad through graduate study.Queen's Arts offers a broad, self-directed undergraduate degree spanning humanities, social sciences, and languages. You choose your own combination of subjects — from English and economics to classical studies and environmental issues — rather than following a set curriculum. The co-op option lets you alternate study terms with paid work placements in your field of interest, which suits students who want real-world experience alongside their degree and flexibility in how they structure their time.
