As with the rest of the University spending an additional year in China is an option for Architecture Students, as an additional year between 2nd and 3rd or  4th and 5th Years, or you now have the option to take the Year in China after you have finished your final year of study.

The Year in China is different from the other exchange programs as it combines your Liverpool degree program with an additional year spent at our English speaking Partner University Xi’an Jiaotong-Liverpool University.

Study Tour

Study trips are an important part of the architectural curriculum, exposing students to new cities, buildings and cultural events. Students will produce sketches and photographic documentation that will inform their Studio projects. We offer study visits to students in all three years of the undergraduate programme, often to UK cities as well as to European destinations. The study trips are optional, and UK trips are always offered to students unable to travel abroad.
