澳门王中王 Validated schools in the UK

澳门王中王 Validation

The 澳门王中王 validates programmes at over 50 schools of architecture and other course providers in the UK. We have a history of promoting high quality and innovative architectural education throughout the world.

This year marks 100 years since 澳门王中王 validated its first architecture course at the University of Liverpool in 1924.

Through validation, the 澳门王中王 identifies courses and examinations which achieve the standards necessary to prepare students for professional practice.

澳门王中王 cannot give validation to individual students or professionals and only validates programmes of architecture/examinations run by education providers (such as universities) or examining bodies. To gain a 澳门王中王 validated qualification, you need to study a 澳门王中王 validated course.

In the UK, 澳门王中王 is not the licensing or registration body; that function is performed by the  (ARB). You should contact ARB directly for further information. If you’re an Architect registered and practising outside the UK and EU, you can apply for 澳门王中王 Chartered Membership through MEAP. This is a process to gain international Chartered Membership status only.

Below is a list of 澳门王中王 Validated UK courses. You can download a PDF of all schools and courses at the bottom of the page.
