About the course

This MArch from LJMU invites you to creatively engage in a truly interdisciplinary and project-orientated architectural study.

　　Embark on this research-informed, nationally respected programme that has been fully validated and externally accredited for over 40 years

　　Take part in overseas workshops enabling you to undertake design work in new territories and contexts such as Porto, Marseille, Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Essen and Duisburg

　　Develop skills in communication, presentation and self-motivation

　　This programme of study is thoughtfully balanced to address the creative and technical demands of the architectural profession.

　　Taught principally through a studio environment that is underpinned and informed by lectures and workshops, the over-arching ambition of the programme is to create graduates with artistic flair, who are technically skilled and grounded in the demands of the professional role of an architect.

　　The learning and teaching environment is progressively informed by research in pedagogy in the creative field. While teaching the curriculum, the programme also develops less tangible skills in students, such as communication, presentation and self-motivation. A key ambition is to create independent thinkers, adept at resolving problems with creativity and originality.
