Part 3 - Examination in Practice and Management is the final step to qualification as an architect. After successful completion, you are admitted to the UK Register of Architects and you are entitled to register as an architect in the UK (ARB Registration) and to apply for worldwide corporate membership of the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA).
Part 3 consists of a submission of a case study from your experience in practice, along with your Professional Experience and Development Record (PEDR) or Certificate of Professional Experience (CPE), followed by a written and oral exam, and an interview.
The Part 3 programme tests:
- your professional knowledge, skill, experience and judgement and your understanding of the requirements of professional conduct
- the organisation and management of architectural practice
- the design and procurement of buildings
- the operational relationships between the architect, client, associated professions, statutory authorities and the building industry.
You are required to attend a number of seminars in preparation for your submission and final exams and interview.
