About Architecture: Professional Practice, PG Dip - at Cardiff University

On this programme, students will acquire an in-depth understanding of the legal and economic aspects of architectural practice and construction procurement, and the related skills necessary to practice effectively on entry into the architectural profession.

On this Diploma programme, students will acquire an in-depth understanding of the legal and economic aspects of architectural practice and construction procurement, and the related skills necessary to practice effectively on entry into the architectural profession.

The programme is designed to be undertaken whilst in full-time employment within an architectural practice or related construction industry organisation. It is taught by distance learning methods using the internet (See 'how will I be taught below.) The part-time version is completed over two academic years (i.e. October to June).

The Diploma is prescribed by the ARB in relation to entry on the register of architects, and validated by the RIBA as equivalent to the RIBA Examination in Professional Practice (the Part 3). The course has received commendations from three successive RIBA Visiting Boards including from the latest, in July 2021, when it was commended for ‘its synthesis of academic rigour and practice’.

Accreditations

  • Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA)
  • Architects Registration Board (ARB)
