What it is	This program teaches you how to design and plan buildings, landscapes, and outdoor spaces, and understand the history and theory behind architecture. It differs from pure design programs because it emphasizes both the creative and technical sides of how buildings and environments are shaped. It suits students who want to study architecture as a discipline before applying to a professional architecture school, or who are drawn to design thinking and the built environment.	You study the creative and technical side of designing buildings and spaces, learning to sketch ideas, understand how structures work, and use design software. This program includes mandatory work terms where you apply classroom learning to real projects with architecture and design firms. It suits people who enjoy solving visual problems, thinking in three dimensions, and want hands-on experience before committing to a full architecture degree.	You study how to design and plan buildings and spaces within cities, combining architecture, landscape design, and urban planning. Unlike a straight architecture program, this degree emphasizes the relationship between individual structures and the wider urban environment — how buildings fit into neighbourhoods and cities. It suits people who want to design thoughtfully at multiple scales and who are interested in both creative problem-solving and how cities actually work.
