What if I don't want to study on an Honours degree?

Although the recommended course of studying is the Honours degree, you can still qualify by choosing to study a built environment related subject, Higher National Certificate or Higher National Diploma (HNC/HND). Depending on the modules attained in your HNC/HND you may receive exemptions within the POP Record. A list of required modules is available from membership@ciat.org.uk

If you choose not to study to gain a formal qualification you may still join the Institute and progress as a professionally qualified Architectural Technician or Chartered Architectural Technologist through experience and self-learning.

Common Best Practice Code for High Quality Internships

The Code offers advice to employers seeking high-quality internships and describes the key components needed to maximise the benefits of internships for interns and employers.
