The Post Graduate Diploma in Architecture at LJMU is a long standing and nationally respected programme that has been fully validated and externally accredited for over 30 years. The department has well established links with local and national professional bodies and close ties with a number of architectural practices, locally nationally and internationally.

The course is located within a school of art and design alongside a range of other closely related visual arts programmes. This creates a unique and stimulating environment for staff and students providing varied sources of inspiration, the opportunity to share creative ideas between disciplines and access to specialist shared facilities.

The department uses the dynamic city of Liverpool as a test bed for most of its project work whilst referring to international best practice. This is based on a clear philosophy to encourage students and staff to be internationally aware and is supported with a programme of study tours which visit places of relevance to studio design projects. Recently students have visited Barcelona, Copenhagen, Rome, Amsterdam and Berlin.

The PG Diploma in architecture programme is a vocational programme fully validated by the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) and the Architects Registration Board (ARB) to award RIBA Part 2 exemption to its graduates. Graduates of the programme have the opportunity to convert the award to the MA in Architecture or an MA in Architecture and Urban Design via further study (6 months full time of 12 months part time).

Each applicant for this MA programme will have been awarded a Diploma in Architecture with RIBA Part 2 exemption or an equivalent qualification from another validated department of architecture. In addition, a subsequent entry requirement will be the successful completion of a selection interview (or equivalent if geographical difficulties exist), during which the history of previous academic achievement of each candidate will be taken into account.
Acceptance to this programme will depend upon significant urban design experience.

The MA is aimed at students of architecture who wish to pursue careers in architectural design, architectural research, architectural education, environmental journalism, or to register a specialisation within contemporary architectural practice – all with an accent on city and urban design matters.
