Hi there, I'm Luna.
I'm a bit like an AI, except instead of making pictures of people with 16 fingers, I can help you find the perfect course and uni.

As an architect, your creative design skills, technical knowledge, and project management practices are the key to turning a client’s vision for a building into a reality. Here you can find all the information you’ll need to decide whether architecture is for you and what you may need to study.
Generally, career development in architecture depends on your technical and design skills, your knowledge of relevant software, and your previous experience.
Architecture students and graduates should look for internships or other professional opportunities as early as possible to gain valuable hands-on experience. Junior architecture and architectural assistant jobs are the likely starting point, which can then lead to roles as a senior architect or partner of a firm.
It’s also common for experienced architects to take on self-employed work.
Completing a mix of study and work experience will allow you to progress through the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) accredited stages and complete a final exam. Passing this exam allows you to officially register and legally use the title ‘architect’.
RIBA offers students helpful resources and services along with a pathway.
Extra study and continued professional experience are great ways to specialise and stand out.
