Overview

This innovative apprenticeship was established at Kent in 2024. It will give you everything you need to practice architecture in the UK as an accredited professional.

Our apprentices are employed by leading architectural practices including Clague Architects, Hollaway Studio and John Robertson Architects. You will benefit from learning whilst earning a salary and gaining valuable hands-on experience in an architect firm.

Intensive and inspiring on-campus study sessions take place for 2-4 days each term where you will connect with fellow apprentices. This is in addition to weekly online sessions.

You will be tutored and mentored by leading architects, gaining theory and design knowledge and experience that you can put into practice right away.

Apprentices on this programme will have completed an ARB-prescribed Part 1 qualification - usually an undergraduate degree in architecture. This apprenticeship then gives you parts 2 and 3.

On completion you will be able to register as an architect in the UK and go on to independent architectural practice, or work as a consultant or advisor.

Upon successful completion, apprentices will gain a Level 7 Architect Apprenticeship Award.
