Overview
The RIBA Certificate in Architecture (Part 1) is a truly unique programme and the original route to registration in the UK for students working full time (24+ hours/week in practice) living and working anywhere within the EEA / UK. The course brings together the value of practice-based learning and academic learning.
This is an affordable and flexible route into the profession. Contact with the RIBA Studio team, coursework submissions and examinations all take place online, meaning proximity to Oxford Brookes University is not an obstacle to studying on this course.
Outcomes
Upon graduating from the course, students will be eligible to apply for a Part 2 qualification such as the RIBA Diploma in Architecture. Students who qualify to Diploma level through this route are then eligible to take the UK Part 3 which leads to:
- full chartered membership of the RIBA
- recognition by the Architects' Registration Board (ARB) for UK architects' registration.
