Architecture (Hons)

Overview

Each year contains core modules in the history and theory of architecture; building structures and construction; and approaches to design. Environmental issues are considered at every level of study and you will also have an opportunity to learn about practice management. These knowledge modules will be combined with studio design, which accounts for 50% of your credits in each year.

Career prospects

The Architecture (Hons) programme from University of Liverpool is a first step into the profession, into which many of our graduates go. The programme is accredited by the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) and the Architects Registration Board (ARB), and the degree constitutes Part I of the education, which eventually leads to professional registration. Our graduates who want to pursue a career in architecture are able to apply for the MArch programme, which provides the RIBA accredited Part II.

But the programme is also an ideal preparation for further study and hugely valuable in a whole range of other careers. As well as major international architects, recent graduates have gone on to work in publishing, the Arts Council, the construction industry, and multidisciplinary think tanks. Pop music, games design and the fashion industry have recruited recent graduates too, as has property development.
