Five-year outline
A direction to review each year, not a commitment.
Year 1
Build the portfolio and choose a direction.
Year 2
Apply to or enter a suitable programme when eligible.
Year 3
Develop studio, CAD and design skills.
Year 4
Seek an internship or supervised project.
Year 5

Community
Community arts and design projects
Where to look
Design schools, student architecture networks and community arts groups
An architecture degree alone does not make someone eligible to practise. Plan the later professional steps separately.
