Dd is keen to study architecture and has one uni as a distinct preference.
She is predicted the grades she needs for the BArch degree which is RIBA validated. So counts as part 1 of riba?
They also run a BA degree which is non validated and has lower entrance requirements.
At the open day yesterday they said the students from each course do exactly the same course, same lectures, etc. They said if you’re on the BA course if you’ve done well in the first year you can move to the BArch. If you end up on the BA for all three years all you have to do is apply yourself as an individual to RIBA for accreditation. They said you’d get it but you just need to tell them what you’ve done for the last three years.
Dd is considering putting the BA on her ucas form as a sort of insurance because she’s so keen to go to this uni.
I’m worried that getting the riba accreditation won’t be that straight forward? Does anyone know?
