The Architects Registration Board (ARB) has today published ‘Modernising initial education and training: analysis report on ARB’s IET survey’.
This 50-page report details original evidence collected through ARB’s survey to shape its ongoing review of initial education and training of architects.
If approved, ARB’s modernisation proposals will introduce a new flexible and inclusive approach to education and training in architecture.
As well as ensuring that the UK continues to be recognised as a leader in architecture globally, the proposed changes will open up the profession to a wider pool of talent, offering those who might have previously been excluded a new range of routes to qualification and professional practice.
All five parts of the vision ARB set out were endorsed by the majority of the 711 people who completed the survey. ARB’s analysis found that:
The report also details the following findings:
Hugh Simpson, Chief Executive and Registrar at ARB, commented: “This positive response has confirmed our direction of travel. It marks a clear endorsement for the proposals ARB is making in terms of modernising education and training in architecture and in particular introducing more flexible routes into the profession as well as making architecture more diverse, equal and inclusive.
The enthusiastic support from those who have responded to this survey, as well as through the many engagement meetings we have had over the previous six months, gives us confidence to continue our detailed policy development work to modernise the regulation of the initial education and training for architects.”
In the next phase of engagement and policy development ARB will develop new outcomes for the initial education and training of architects, standards for institutions and an updated accreditation model. Within this ARB will consider what changes to the structure of education will enable wider access to architecture without compromising on the quality of architects. These proposals will not be developed in isolation: ARB will engage experts and continue to share ideas as they evolve, listening to the views of architects, academics, students, and others working in the architecture sector over the next six months. ARB will launch a full public consultation in 2023, once its proposals are more developed.
