This professionally validated programme gives you the opportunity to work on a range of authentic architectural projects in a dynamic studio environment within the Liverpool School of Art & Design. Input from practicing architects and access to industry standard technical facilities gives you a rigorous and stimulating programme of study.<br><br>Taught principally through a studio environment that is seamlessly underpinned and informed by lectures and workshops, the over-arching ambition of the programme is to create graduates with artistic flair, and who are technically skilled and grounded in the demands of the professional role of the architect.<br><br>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.<br>A broad educational experience is offered within which students can develop diverse rigorous and creative approaches to design issues that explore and test appropriate resolutions in relation to contemporary and anticipated contextual issues.<br><br>This course is fully accredited by the RIBA (Royal Institute of Architects) and the ARB (Architects Registration Board).<br><br>Liverpool School of Art and Design, where Architecture is taught, has many links with artistic and cultural institutions both nationally and locally, including RIBA and FACT (the Foundation of Arts and Creative Technologies), and collaborates regularly on both live projects and exhibitions.<br><br>Recently, Architecture students have worked with RIBA to stage Le Corbusier's exhibition, 'The Art Of Architecture' in Liverpool Metropolitan Catholic Cathedral's Crypt.
