Program Description

As the first UK university to award a RIBA-accredited degree in Architecture, the Liverpool School of Architecture has a long tradition of excellence in architectural education and research. Students will be taught by experienced professionals, leading academics and world-class researchers. Liverpool encourages a creative and individual approach to the future, knowing that more career paths are opening up each moment, and knowing that understanding design is crucial to the 21st century. RIBA Part I is awarded on completion of the degree.

This Liverpool programme aims to provide a comprehensive foundation in architecture, which demands knowledge of many different but interrelated disciplines and the development of personal as well as technical skills. In recognition of this, the programme is divided into a series of modules, which allows students to explore design alongside humanities (urban studies, history, theory and technology, structure, construction and environmental design).

Liverpool does not have a “house style”, but instead encourage students to develop their own design methodology based on an understanding of history, technology and architectural theory. They challenge students to find individual solutions to complex design problems, choosing from a variety of design briefs as well as assignments throughout the programme.
