Table 8 Course Recognition, Statutory and Institute
tal1e j
Despite the increasing variety of roles which architecture graduates have undertaken, the goal of most architecture students is to become an architect.
In Table 8, the intention is to tabulate the requirements that graduates have to fulfil before gaining the title "architect". These could be the statutory requirements of a government or semi-government body such as an Architectural Board or Council or the membership requirements of an Architectural Institute or Association. The requirements are usually determined and administered by representatives of the profession distinct from the schools, although some school staff members may be on the appropriate bodies which determine the issues. The level of co-operation between schools and the profession affects the ease or difficulty with which the graduate is accepted into the profession.
Requirements vary from country to country. In a few countries graduation from a recognised school gives immediate entry into the profession, while in most others, there are requirements for architectural practical experience varying from one to three years, followed by one or more examinations usually in architectural practice.
Table 8 presented more problems than uny of the others in this book. To maintain the logic of the table, some of the replies in the questionnaires were amended to conform with information gathered from other sources. More specific information would be available from each country's professional architectural organizations which are identified in Table 8. A full list of these organizations, together with their addresses, appears in the CAA handbook.
