The Professional Diploma is a design-based course that will enable you to focus your skills and develop excellence in your work. The main areas of study are in design, technology and practice, and history and theory. Each area is taught through a wide choice of tutors, studios and interest groups with a strong emphasis on self-directed study and ambitious agendas. You are encouraged to explore particular lines of interest and develop ideas in depth.
The course as a whole encourages fresh thinking, experiment and risk. You will also be encouraged to understand and engage with the society you are part of and serve; and to engage with social, political and economic infrastructures that predetermine built form. Our students have had considerable recent successes in the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) President's medals, winning the RIBA Silver Medal in 2002 and 2003, and the Bronze in 2004. The Department is housed in a purpose designed building on Holloway Road and has access to the nearby Graduate Centre, designed by renowned architect, Daniel Libeskind.
Career opportunities
The course allows you to progress to the Examination in Professional Practice following a period of practical experience in practice or to progress to a specialised Masters course.

Course structure
Over 50% of the course structure consists of design-based project work undertaken each year in a range of studios, led by well-respected tutors/practitioners. Other areas of study in technology, practice and history and theory operate both independently and in association with design projects. These strategies enable you to develop key ideas and skills toward the practice of architecture.
Assessment
The design projects are assessed in portfolio with a presentation at the end of the course. The history, theory and practice coursework is assessed through seminar papers and an essay. The technology studies are examined in portfolio and through a technology dissertation, coursework and professional reports.
