If you aren’t already familiar with how to qualify as an architect in the UK, Part 3 is the last hurdle. With a minimum of 7 years to complete the journey from degree to masters and then to this stage (with a minimum requirement of 24 months of professional experience too) it can seem like a long wait to become the architect you might have always wanted to be.
I don’t think I’m alone in saying that at some point regardless of the stage you're at, that you’ve questioned whether you should aspire to be an architect. With these questions in mind, for this week’s article, I ask @thearchitecturalassistant what it means to be on the journey to becoming a qualifying architect.

Who do you think pursuing a Part 3 is for?
Where did you feel in your journey leading up to Part 3 that you learnt the most about yourself and the industry?

How has your experience within architecture as a student and professional shaped your understanding of architecture?
