Globally acclaimed Architecture Degree
SLIIT BSc (Hons) Degree in Architecture is a 3-year full-time degree, awarded by the Liverpool John Moore’s University (LJMU) UK, and fully accredited by the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA). The programme provides recognised quality education within the shortest possible duration on par with international standards.
Adaptability, timely decisions making, and responsible leadership, are essential skills which SLIIT aims to instill in students apart from subject and technical knowhow. This has been demonstrated by SLIIT’s pioneering leadership in moving students to a virtual learning environment as soon as the Covid-19 pandemic affected Sri Lanka during early March.
The SLIIT School of Architecture, as a creative and studio-based education setup was also able to adapt, moving its studio spaces, offering one-on-one design tutoring, lectures and even exams to a parallel online platform from March ensuring student studies were not impacted.
Due to this timely initiative and the ability to adjust to situations, SLIIT final year students were able to complete their degree as planned by the first week of September 2020 without further delay. These students have been welcomed by the industry and employed by architects and architectural firms.
Following a year of industry training, they will be able to join the 2-year MSc postgraduate degree in Architecture at SLIIT, also awarded by LJMU which is a member of the Association of Commonwealth Universities. These degrees are also recognized by the University Grants Commission, Sri Lanka.
