Bachelor of Science (Hons) Architecture

The complete study of Architecture requires 5 years of full-time Architectural education. The SLIIT School of Architecture offers the complete pathway in 2 stages: the three-year full-time Bachelor’s Degree in Architecture followed by a recommended placement year, leading onto the 2-year Master’s Degree in Architecture.

Upon the successful completion of two years of the SLIIT Architecture programm, students will be eligible to progress to the third year, the B.Sc.(Honours) Degree in Architecture, awarded by the University of Liverpool John Moores in the United Kingdom.

Students will be based at the SLIIT School of Architecture, in the Faculty of Engineering, at SLIIT Malabe campus, to gain an internal degree from Liverpool John Moores, UK. The first two years of study at SLIIT aims to provide students with an inclusive understanding of the cultural and traditional context of architectural design in Sri Lanka. The third (and final), year of study collaborates with the University of Liverpool John Moores, to introduce the global dynamic of the degree, imparting the international awareness needed to provide students with a comprehensive education in becoming truly global graduates of Architecture.

The degree will cover subject areas ranging from Architectural Design, History and Theory of Architecture, Culture and Society, Environment, Urbanism, CAD and freehand drawing, to Construction Technology & Professional Practice. This BSc (Hons) Degree in Architecture is recognised by the University Grants Commission (UGC) of Sri Lanka, opening opportunities to pursue postgraduate studies in related fields at government universities. This will be a firm foundation that paves the way to a number of other interesting postgraduate programs and professions. Urban Design, Town and Country planning, Landscape Architecture, Interior Design, Archeology, Conservation and project management are some of the area to which BSc (Hons) Architecture graduates can divert into, apart from a professional carrier in Architecture.
