Carleton University’s PhD in Architecture is an innovative, comprehensive doctoral program that fuses research with critical practice in architecture. Talented and thoughtful individuals are invited to undertake original, speculative, and experimental research in a broad range of fields. Doctoral projects at the Azrieli School of Architecture & Urbanism (ASAU) draw on the interrelated performative and reflective aspects of architecture, design, and material processes. Students are encouraged to engage in a number of related academic and research units on campus (many housed within ASAU) as well as major institutions in Ottawa. A collaborative Specialization in African Studies is available.
