Program Description
The Master of Science in Architecture (MSc-Thesis) offered by the Peter Guo-hua Fu School of Architecture in the Faculty of Engineering is a research-intensive program of study, focusing on critical skills in research, analysis, experimentation, design research, and interpretation that are applicable in the profession, allied disciplines, and society. The program accommodates several areas of study, capitalizing on faculty expertise. It offers flexibility between a written or design-oriented thesis and promotes close interaction between students and faculty in sponsored and unsponsored research. Original research on architectural, engineering, landscape, and urban issues of interest with implications for the built environment are conducted to develop the student's research skills and competencies for doctoral studies or a leadership role in professional practice.
