The North West branch of the Royal Institute of British Architects represents members and practices in the entire region, including Liverpool. The School of Architecture works with RIBA North West on all kinds of events and initiatives, for example the RIBA student mentoring programme, where students (usually BA2) and are given a mentor to support and guide them. Mentors give particular focus to introducing students to the realities of practice, so they are well-prepared for their year out well as helping students to think about their future career direction. The RIBA has lots of resources which you can access as a student member. The RIBA has an awards programme, including the best poster in the BA3 project management module.
