Subject to meeting the RIBA practical experience eligibility criteria, you can count this experience towards the registration requirement set out by the Architects Registration Board ARB. The RIBA encourages students to gain experience either under the supervision of an architect or another qualified construction industry professional at this stage.
You may choose to work for longer than one year to save money or to gain additional experience. Other options include taking time out to work in the wider construction industry, work overseas, volunteer or travel.
Part 2 will provide you with enhanced architectural knowledge and project complexity. It can be completed in the form of a two year full time university degree or the other work-based routes as described above. The name of the award varies across providers e. BArch, Diploma, MArch. Students may choose to return to the school where they completed Part 1, or apply to study for Part 2 at another school or route. There will be opportunities for students to carry out specialist study and research, possibly abroad.
The Level 7 Architect Apprenticeship provides students with the opportunity to complete a Part 2 and a Part 3 qualification with an approved university training provider, whilst also working in practice. Further practical experience: 24 months' experience in total is required to sit the part 3 examination, of which 12 months minimum should be undertaken in the EEA, Channel Islands or the Isle of Man under the direct supervision of an architect.
Good listening , problem solving , and critical thinking skills are imperative. Before you move ahead with your education, honestly assess whether you possess these traits. Ask yourself the following questions: Are you creative? Do you easily understand what others say to you? Can you find alternative solutions to problems, evaluate them, and then implement the most appropriate one? While architects aren't expected to be fine artists, they should have some background in design.
If you are still in high school and aspire to study architecture in college, it is a good idea to take at least a couple of semesters of studio art classes before you graduate. In addition, you should also take trigonometry, geometry, and physics courses.
To work as an architect almost anywhere in the United States, you will have to earn a professional degree from a program that has received accreditation from the National Architectural Accrediting Board NAAB. These professional degrees include the Bachelor of Architecture B. Which one you need depends on your educational background.
While actual coursework varies by school, professional architecture coursework may include the following:. After you complete your professional program and perhaps get some experience as well, you may decide to take your education even further. You can enroll in post-professional masters or doctoral degree programs for highly specialized study in areas not covered in professional programs.
Examples of these areas are ecology, urban studies, and applied research. Post-professional degrees are not required nor are they NAAB-accredited. If you are applying to undergraduate professional architecture programs you will go through a process that is the same as what you would go through before you can be admitted to any other undergraduate degree program.
The only difference is that you might have to also submit a portfolio with your application. Not all schools require it, but many do. When applying to master's degree programs, in addition to following the requirements of the college of architecture you want to attend, you will typically have to follow the general graduate school admissions requirements for the university. This includes submitting an undergraduate transcript, GRE scores, and letters of reference which can be from professors or employers.
Many schools will also ask for an essay that explains why you want to enroll. Some schools call this a statement of purpose or a letter of aspiration. It is very likely that the school will ask you to submit a portfolio as well. Anyone considering architecture as a career in the United States should take a deep breath now, as the country has one of the longest times to qualification in the world. Eight years is the shortest time in which anyone can qualify, and many students take longer — sometimes as long as 12 years!
The fastest route to licensure is to take a five-year Bachelor of Architecture, also called a B. This takes approximately eight years and comes with a predictably hefty price tag.
If you study a subject other than architecture at undergraduate level, it is still possible to become an architect but the time investment is considerable. After your first degree already four years you are required to take a Master of Architecture, also called an M.
This typically lasts two or three years for students with undergraduate qualifications in a design-related field, but if your background is in zoology or politics you could be looking at a five-year stretch. In the United Kingdom, the minimum amount of time to qualification is seven years, one less than in the United States.
In reality, it usually takes a little over seven years even for students who complete each element on time — and not everyone does! The Part 3 is an exam which candidates must pass before applying for a license. It may take another few months to prepare for the exam, be given a date, get the results, and actually become a registered architect. In Canada, it typically takes eight years for someone to become a qualified architect.
These degrees must be supplemented by two years or 3, hours of internships , supervised by a mentor and fully documented. Regardless of which route a young architect takes, after their studies and internships they are required to pass the ExAC Examination for Architects in Canada.
This is an essential requirement when applying for licensure. China requires as much from its students as the US and Canada, with a minimum qualification time of eight years.
Other Asian countries allow people to qualify slightly more quickly. Hong Kong and Singapore require five years of school and two of work experience; Japan requires four years of school and two of work experience; India requires five years of school, but no work experience.
In Europe, requirements vary quite a lot. Germany and Ireland, like the UK, require five years of school and two of work experience. In France the requirement is five and one, while in Italy students attend school for five years but are not required to complete work experience. Other countries have different systems altogether — for example, in Sweden, Switzerland and Finland, a license from a national body is not essential to begin practicing architecture.
Australia and South Africa ask for five years of school and two of work experience. Russia is four and two, while Turkey and Mexico have five-year qualifications but no work experience requirement.
In the UK, for instance, only someone who has completed the RIBA Part 3 after seven years of schooling and internships and been formally registered can call themselves an architect.
