Stages to become an architect
As promised, a bit of info. about the three parts to becoming a fully qualified architect.
Part one: Three years undergraduate with a fourth year in practise working as a part one qualified architect.
Part two: Two years master's degree with a third year in practice working as a part two qualified architect.
Part three: You’re an architect!
Don’t worry, if you do an undergraduate degree in architecture, it doesn’t mean that you are locked into doing all three parts, you can branch out into other areas and do a master's degree in another subject if you want. While currently, I plan on becoming a fully qualified architect, I am still open to exploring other avenues of Conservation and Restoration, Urban Design or even Human Resources.
