Offering an alternative route to Part 2 and 3 qualification, our master's-level architect degree apprenticeship programme combines the best of practice experience and research-led education. It gives apprentices the opportunity to use their academic studies to enrich their real-world experience, which exponentially enhances their learning and confidence, and enables them to make significant contributions to their practice’s research, projects and networks.

The webinar covers:

Who is the webinar for?
This webinar is designed for Part 1 Architectural Assistants, and their employers, who are interested in finding out more about this alternative route to qualification as a registered Architect.
