At London Metropolitan University, tuition is 18,500 GBP per year.

Students on this programme often find themselves engaging with the work of firms like Bennetts Associates and Karakusevic-Carson Architects during the lecture series, bridging the final gap between academic study and professional practice. As the final step toward registration as an architect in the UK, this course is designed for those currently working in the industry who are ready to take on higher levels of professional responsibility.

The curriculum is deeply rooted in the ethical and social obligations of the architect, encouraging you to articulate your own professional position while navigating the legal, commercial, and construction environments of the UK. Rather than following a rigid path, the programme offers flexible six or 12-month pathways to accommodate your existing work commitments. You will join a community of practitioners and benefit from a programme that has produced winners of the prestigious RIBA Silver and Bronze medals.

The course functions as a framework to support your professional development, leveraging your current work experience to meet the ARB/RIBA criteria. By examining critical events in your own practice alongside those of your peers, you will develop the competence required to safeguard clients, building users, and the public, ultimately preparing you to use the protected title of 'Architect' with confidence.
