Following the successful completion of the Architecture BA(Hons) RIBA Part 1, students normally go on to experience their first formal employment in an architectural practice or professional discipline within the design or construction industries.
The post-Part 1 course supports diverse approaches to practice. It is designed to help you formally record your experiences so you can successfully complete the RIBA Professional Experience Development Records (PEDRs) and prepare for the Architecture RIBA Part 2 MArch.
As part of the course, the university will sign off your PEDRs and give you advice and support when you're in practice.
