Academic Background & GPA: Minimum Academic Requirement: A B+ average (about 76% or higher), as assessed by UBC, is required. MASA may have even higher expectations—ensure transcripts reflect strong performance.
Relevant Bachelor's Degree: Applicants should hold a professional, post-professional, or equivalent degree in architecture (e.g., B.Arch, B.Tech in Architecture, M.Arch, etc.). This is a research-focused, post-professional master's—so a solid architectural foundation is essential.
A strong portfolio or statement helping highlight your thesis idea and how you align with UBC faculty interests could be a game-changer.
