Applications open for MSc Global Housing Design

Published on

Applications are now being accepted for the Liverpool School of Architecture’s MSc in Global Housing Design, which launches in September 2025.

This exciting new programme will offer an advanced architectural design course for future designers, policy makers and researchers. It is international in its outlook, providing a critical overview of housing issues in different metropolitan contexts.

An optional semester in London enables you to take advantage of the capital as one such context, with its unique offering of exemplary housing projects, practices and development models.

Who we’re looking for

This programme is ideal for skilled architects who have an enthusiastic vision of housing and future urbanities.

You will normally need a 2:1 MArch degree (RIBA Part II) from a UK university or overseas qualification of an equivalent standard, although applicants with a BA Architecture (minimum 2:1) or equivalent may also be accepted if relevant work experience can be demonstrated.

As the first UK university to award a RIBA-accredited degree, the Liverpool School of Architecture has a long and proud tradition as a pioneer of architectural education. We are ranked 3rd in the UK for Architecture in the Guardian University Guide 2025, and 7th in the Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide 2025.
