Students are required to be in full-time employment, typically within an appropriate UK-based design practice (or similar) under the direction of a UK Registered Architect, who acts as an Employment Mentor. The programme, which is taught online, has been designed to enable students to develop their knowledge, understanding, ability, and skills of the professional practice and management of architecture. Students are able to develop a comprehensive understanding of their obligations and responsibilities as a professional to clients, the profession, and society at large.
