With the inception of Oxford Brookes as a University, Professional Studies in Architecture has evolved into a fully-recognised Course which balances education and practice in the architectural profession through the active collaboration of both in the management of the course and the preparation and examination of its students. Between the beginning of the BA Course in Architectural studies and the completion of the Graduate Diploma in Architecture, students are introduced to professional practice through a preparatory course in their final Degree year, a year of practical training which is supervised and a seminar course in their first Diploma year. The course is open to all students who have gained a graduate diploma in architecture carrying exemption from Part 2 of the examination in architecture.
Fees are payable separately for each of the seminars and examination.
The course and examination are recognised by Oxford Brookes University and by the joint visiting Boards of the Architects' Registration Council of the UK and the Royal Institute of British Architects. Upon registration, successful candidates become registered architects in the UK, a qualification also recognised throughout the European Union, and may become chartered architects on joining the Royal Institute of British Architects.
