Overview

The Architecture Professional Practice (RIBA Part 3) Diploma offered at the University of Westminster is the final part of an architectural student’s professional training and the culmination of a minimum of seven years’ education and professional development.

The content of the course and each module builds on the professional experience and knowledge that you'll have gained over this period.

You'll receive tutorial support for your case study and professional development and experience work by tutors from architectural practice.

The submission of the coursework for the case study and professional development modules can be self-deferred by 6 or 12 months for work-based reasons, giving you flexibility where your workplace or employment circumstances change. The University of Westminster and its courses are located in London.

Careers

The Diploma in Professional Practice in Architecture is a professional qualification leading to registration as an architect with the ARB and professional membership of the RIBA.

Students who have successfully completed the course have obtained senior positions or taken greater responsibility in architectural practice, developed their own architectural practice, and have also gone on to work overseas.

Former students have also developed specialism in construction law. The Diploma may also form a platform for continuing study in academia and research and may lead to study for an MPhil/PhD degree.
