A NOTE FROM LIZ Hi everyone, I love the interest and comments on this post. Please note this video was intended as a guide for the process of becoming an architect. I cannot answer questions about immigration, visas, university recommendations, or your individual circumstances for career options, or application to study or become an architect in Australia. These sorts of questions are outside my knowledge or area of expertise. This channel is about tips for studying or practising in architecture. I hope this information helped give you some answers. Thanks for watching!!

I think the process is quite different here in philippines but the period of time of achieving the title is somehow the same. Here we have 5 years in college bachelor of science in arch, 2 years apprenticeship then board exam. 7 in total.

Hi Liz, I just graduated from year 12 and I am planning to get into Architecture through Uni SA or Adelaide Uni. I have a few questions: - What exactly is a master's degree, and what would that include in the context of architecture? - Is doing a masters required or just optional? Would I be able to get registered as an architect without a masters? - From my own research and your video, a timeline of becoming an architect is: 1. uni bachelors degree (3 years) , 2. uni masters (2 years), 3. becoming registered through the board, 4. then get a job in the field. Is that correct? - How long does the registration process take? - Is work experience/placements required, and is it separate to the timeline above (e.g., you would do a placement while you are studying for your bachelors degree. In that case, when do you usually do work experience/placements? )

Normally each subject has an indicative amount of hours per week - a typical subject could be 10-12 hours, and a full-time load would be 4 subjects (40-48 hours per week). However, this is the time required to complete the work well and pass. If you are aiming for top marks you would need to do more than this.

I'm not familiar with UIA Certified. You would have to research Visa's to see if you can get a work Visa and what that allows. I am not sure what the availability of work is for students - I would reach out to architecture firms directly.

I don't wanna actually become a registered architect. However it was a lifetime since I grew up in the building industry. I wanna train to be a structural engineer- Would you first train to be a building designer for entry requirements in structural engineering; for this is now what I'm aiming for to aim to train to be a building designer so later down the track to have a career in structural engineering; for obviously you need to have previous experience on a software in today's world.

@lizatarchimash 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Anthony. Building design, architecture and structural engineering are three very different careers and knowledge bases. You would only work or practice in one discipline - or study and swap to another. You can study building design and then transfer into architecture (I'm not sure if you get any credit, you would have to check with the university). If you want to become a structural engineer then I would go straight into engineering - you are unlikely to get any credit or relevant knowledge from studying architecture first. In my opinion, dual architecture/ engineering degrees do not provide you with an advantage -you will eventually become an architect or an engineer. Not both. I hope this helps.

Hi Umer. The 3 year course is the first 3 years of the 5 year course. If you want to practice and/ or become a registered architect in Australia, you will need to complete all 5 years. Some students do the first 3 years and decide architecture is not for them.This allows them to move on to other things with a basic design degree.
