    Professional experience and development The Leeds School of Architecture offers a Professional Experience and Development Record (PEDR) Monitoring Service for graduates with BA (Hons) Architecture, Master of Architecture (MArch) or similar degree.

    The PEDR is an electronic record of your professional experience, development and competency in the practice of architecture. A PEDR will offer support on the pathway to registration or licensure, primarily with the ARB. For more information, please visit our PEDR page.

    Becoming an architect To become a fully qualified architect takes seven years. We offer the professional body recognition that will enable you to progress on to further study in this field. You’ll need to complete a MArch (Master of Architecture) giving exemption from Part II of the RIBA Examination in Architecture. You’ll then complete the Postgraduate Diploma in Architectural Professional Practice, giving exemption from Part III.
