Why study this course?

This part-time practice-based course provides the final professional qualification in architecture in the UK. It builds on previous knowledge and experience to prepare you for managing architectural projects and is the final step toward registration as an architect in the UK.

The course is designed to ensure high standards in the professional practice of architecture and to give you the opportunity to extend, develop and demonstrate your competence to register and practice as an architect in the UK. The aim is to provide you with the skills necessary to perform your professional duties with care and to articulate and advocate for your own position within the architecture and construction environment.

Architects’ have a social and ethical responsibility to consider the impact of their decisions and actions, and this is at the heart of the course, which aims to foster independent and critical thinking. It promotes the development of students’ professional ability as architects and responsible designers providing you with the knowledge and experience needed for ideas to become reality in a way that is ethical, economical, efficient, safe and legal.

Students are recruited from a wide range of design professions in the construction industry. The teaching will examine critical events in your own work experience, that of other course members and of the profession at large. The course will also encourage you to feel confident with higher levels of professional responsibility. Our students have had considerable successes in the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) President's medals.
