About STUDIO FIRST

STUDIO FIRST is a full-time five-week studio in architectural design for students from a wide range of backgrounds who are considering graduate studies in architecture or any of the environmental design fields. The program provides a post-baccalaureate bridge from an undergraduate degree in any field toward entrance into a three-year accredited professional degree in architecture.

STUDIO FIRST helps participants develop competitive portfolio material appropriate for application to a three-year Master of Architecture accredited degree program. It is equally valuable to those wanting to pursue a degree in urban design or landscape architecture, if the application has a portfolio requirement.

The Azrieli School of Architecture & Urbanism’s STUDIO FIRST program will allow students to immerse themselves in studio culture and determine whether architecture is the right path to follow.

Who is STUDIO FIRST for?

1. You have a four-year undergraduate degree in any field or are currently enrolled, but wonder whether architecture and design are the career for you.
2. Students already in architecture, environmental design, conservation, or urban design, who are applying to graduate programs to gain a professional degree. You may need to improve your portfolio or augment your design studies.
3. International students who want to learn how to create a suitable portfolio for application to schools in North America.
4. Students with a three-year undergraduate degree or highly motivated high school students preparing to apply to undergraduate studies in architecture.
5. Students who have already been accepted to the MArch 1 program and want to shorten the learning curve in the first year.
