My first question is...

well does anyone know of SCI-ARC ( Southern Californian Institue of Architecture). Yeah well after a-levels, i'm planning on going there as my family are moving to LA. The course there is a five year BArch & is accredited by NAAB (US ARB)

I was wondering if i do end up doing that course, and if i wanted to return to the UK for post-grad study..what i be doing part 2 or part 3? i read on RIBA that non-eu grads have to undertake 12 months work exp placement before undergoing part 3. Ideally, i would like to return to the UK and do part 3 to register with RIBA but...

would it put me at a disadvantage in employment cus i have a US degree or will the fact that i've got part 3 be ok? it would be quite perfect if that was the case cus it will give me flexibility to work in the US and UK cus i know its difficult to get liscenced with a non-us degree over there.

any help will be greatly greatly appreciated!
