TUITION
For information regarding tuition levies at the School of Architecture, University of Waterloo, please visit the University website. Tuition at Cambridge is levied on a "term" basis. A full load is deemed to be 1.5CR or higher. Students taking a load that might be slightly lighter than normal, as a result of transfer credits, will not have reduced tuition. A normal load at the School of Architecture ranges from 4.0CR to 3.0CR, as a function of the year of study. For an estimate of tuition and annual expenses please visit this link for more information
FIRST YEAR COURSE COST
The estimated cost of supplies for students in their first year (8 months) is approximately $4,900. This includes the purchase of supplies and instruments that you will need for general drawing and manual drafting, books, software (for second term) and the first year Fall field trip to New York City. By the second term you will need to have purchased a laptop as students begin to take courses in digital design, 3-D modeling and AutoCAD. Digital design is taught interactively in our e-classroom. 1B students participate in the Steel Structures Education Foundation Design Competition, and their digital work has won many awards! More information on the recommended laptop purchase will be sent to successful applicants.
FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE
Some teaching and research assistantships are available to graduate students in the Master of Architecture program. Some University of Waterloo Graduate Scholarships are also available to qualified students. These scholarships are assigned by the School. Students may also apply for University of Waterloo Graduate Bursaries, after their first semester, if they can demonstrate financial need.
