- Following the MArch, you continue to work in an architectural practice until you have a total of 24 months of professional experience (including the period of professional experience gained before entering the MArch programme).
- You are then eligible to take Part 3 of the ARB/RIBA examinations, which lead to full professional registration as an architect.
