Course summary

Architects design buildings and play a role in shaping cities, communities and the way we live.

This Architectural Assistant Degree Apprenticeship course is the first step to developing the technical and analytical skills you need to begin a career as an architect – all while earning a salary and getting on-the-job experience.

During term time, you'll spend one day a week on day release at the University and the other four days applying your skills and getting practical experience in the workplace. The Government or your employer pay your tuition fees – so your architecture degree doesn’t cost you anything.

When you finish your apprenticeship, you'll have a Bachelor's degree in architecture and you'll be primed to take on further study to continue your journey in becoming a registered architect.
