About

This Professional Certificate in Architecture at Nottingham Trent University is designed to support graduates from a Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) Part 1 accredited qualification in Architecture, who are undertaking experience in professional practice, prior to entry on a Part 2 course.

Overview

The Architecture course at Nottingham Trent University aims to provide easy access to professional, work-related and educational advice, at the same time as monitoring and helping you interpret your practice-based experience.

This is recognised by the RIBA and the Architects Registration Board (ARB) as part of the UK system for ensuring high quality entrants to the profession. Whilst not a mandatory requirement for progression, it's an excellent opportunity for formal support from leading academics.

Why study this course?

  • Benefit from full NTU student status - enrolment on this course entitles you to use of the University's industry-standard facilities, library and learning spaces.
  • Develop your personal design style, supported by a University with a strong design heritage; NTU began life as the Nottingham Government School of Design in 1843. Your learning is also underpinned by the School’s significant expertise as a built environment educator.
  • Access NTU's NOW e-platform, a space to share relevant content and facilitate discussion with your peers. You'll also be encouraged to communicate regularly with your Professional Studies Advisor, either face-to-face or by email.
  • Take advantage of NTU's expert Employability team, who can assist with refining your CV, developing professional skills, and sourcing relevant employment opportunities.
  • Benefit from a peer-to-peer support network, facilitated by a series of recall days that you'll be invited to attend. Have the opportunity to meet with other practising professionals at a similar career stage, expanding you industry network.

Programme Structure

How you will learn:

  • You'll be allocated a Professional Studies Advisor, who will support you in evidencing your experience gained in practice via Records of Practical Experience.
  • Three times a year, you'll be invited to participate in a recall day; this is a day of lectures, seminars and case study presentations at, or near, NTU. You'll be encouraged to discuss your work experience and compare with your peers.
  • You'll be awarded the Professional Certificate in Architecture (PCiA) upon review of a professional diary that you're required to maintain, recording reflections on your experience over the fifteen month support period.
