Architecture is one of the most popular disciplines in Great Britain along with the faculties of medicine and law, both among local and foreign students.

In London and in Britain as a whole, the oldest educational institutions work with their own learning traditions, each university seeks to create its own unique program and comfortable conditions for students: small classes, modern technical equipment, developed student and research infrastructure. The emphasis is put on the development of critical thinking and creative abilities, an active life position and participation in the life of universities is welcomed.

The Royal Institute of British Architecture is responsible for the level of education in this area and accredits universities with architectural departments once every four years, uniting about 45.000 graduates. An easier way is to simply unlearn undergraduate and graduate programs, however, for the most ambitious, it is still recommended not to ignore the qualifications of the architect. Let us consider the step-by-step procedure for studying at a university for qualification of an architect:

• Bachelor's degree - BA and BSc
• Master or Bachelor of Architecture BArch, Diploma, March
• 2 year practice
• Passing qualification exams. Requirements for students: practice at 24 hours minimum (in total), targeted research, written and oral exam. Those who pass the test will be able to register with the Registration College of Architecture and become a member of the Royal Institute of British Architects. The qualification of “architect” is carefully guarded in the country, and its receipt confirms the high level of specialist preparation.

A Bachelor's degree can be obtained in the corresponding direction: there are about 40 architectural faculties in British universities. Having entered the faculty, the student automatically becomes a member of the student section of the Royal Institute of British Architects. The duration of the stage is 3 years.

The duration of the course is two years, and one of the indicated degrees can be obtained at the university where you studied at the Bachelor's program or choose a new university.

Further all students expect practice in the architectural bureau of Great Britain or Europe.
