Getting started

Architecture

 

The architectural profession is varied and although most qualified architects elect to work for private practice, some choose to explore opportunities in other areas such as the construction industry or property development. Private practices can vary enormously in size and you may find yourself working alone or as part of a large team. A number of experienced qualified architects opt to work freelance with a proportion of these electing to work as sole traders.
