Architectural Practice, PGDip (ARB/RIBA Part 3 Exemption)

The course prepares students for future careers as national and international architects.

The School of Design has an Employability Officer for postgraduate students to speak to about career opportunities. They work closely with professionals in industry to ensure you are well-prepared for the workplace and have already begun to build your professional network by the time you graduate.

The central Employability and Careers Service also provides support for students preparing to apply for placements and graduate roles, such as CV clinics, mock interviews and employability skills workshops.

You should have qualifications recognised by Architects Registration Board (ARB) at Part 1 and Part 2 levels.

This course is designed to create professionals who have the knowledge, drive and determination to succeed in the world of contemporary architecture.
You can begin the course in January or September. The concluding viva voce examinations (professional interviews) are also held twice a year.
This flexible course can be completed in 1 year but you can easily extend to accommodate changes to your personal or professional circumstances (which many students do).
We encourage self-reflection, professionalism, drive and determination to help you succeed in the contemporary world of architecture.
