About this course
This MArch from LJMU invites you to creatively engage in a truly interdisciplinary and project-orientated architectural study.
This programme of study is thoughtfully balanced to address the creative and technical demands of the architectural profession.
In the 2017 RIBA revalidation, the MArch programme was commended by the visiting assessors for: 'the Architecture programme's focus on urban design projects across a range of scales, evident in the work of the MArch students'.
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 the 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.
Assessment
How learning is monitored on your programme
To cater for the wide-ranging content of our courses and the varied learning preferences of our students, we offer a range of assessment methods on each programme. Assessment techniques vary from module to module to reflect relevant assessment approaches and the key learning points of each topic.
This is a project-oriented course. You will develop design ideas in the studio, guided by semester tutors and, at regular intervals, by joint review panels of design tutors and external critics who will comment on your progress.
Teaching is intensive and you will learn via one-to-one and group discussions plus regular presentations of work, so that continuous group and self-assessment is built into your course.
You will need: a minimum 2:2 honours degree in Architecture; to attend an interview. Addition information: Assessment of suitability to the course may also be undertaken by review of a portfolio of work and an interview. Students with first degrees without RIBA/ARB Part 1 exemption should be aware that the MArch awards exemption from RIBA / ARB Part 2 only. If you wish to register as an Architect in this country or become an RIBA Chartered architect you will have to acquire RIBA / ARB Part 1 separately.
