Introduction

The course provides an opportunity for graduates of RIBA/ARB validated Part 1 courses (including the BA(Hons) Architecture and Planning at Bristol UWE) to continue their architectural education at Bristol UWE to achieve RIBA Part 2. Once they have completed Part 3, they can join the UK Register of Architects.

Three important considerations that have influenced the structure and content of the course:

  • Current thinking of the RIBA and the ARB
  • Objectives of the EU Architects' Directive
  • Continuity with the approach of the BA(Hons) Architecture and Planning

Content

The course provides an opportunity for you to acquire the knowledge and develop the skills necessary to embark upon a career in architectural practice, and begin the period of office based experience that is required for RIBA Part 3 examination.

This course continues the themes of People, Sustainability and Context which help form the particular academic character of the BA(Hons) Architecture and Planning. Also continued into this course is the inter-professional ethos of the School.

The strongly design-led programme draws extensively on the School's research in urban design, regeneration, urban policy and sustainability. There is a further emphasis on an appreciation of the wider professional and social setting within which the architect operates.

In parallel, the course fosters an understanding of the organisation of the construction industry and its inter-professional nature, and focuses on the management of architectural practice while maintaining a professional, ethical attitude towards society, the client, the user and the environment.

Careers/further study

The particular focus on sustainability and urban design, together with the strong emphasis on links with practice, the multi-disciplinary ethos of the School and the University's strength in the development of transferable skills, will provide you with a professional architectural qualification which offers excellent career opportunities.
