Year 12s: what will be the first way you research your future options? >>

Can you become an architect with an engineering bachelors degree?

If I were to do architectural engineering for my undergrad, could I go into architecture afterwards? Or can you only do that if you've studied architecture to begin with.

If there is anything you’re unsure of, especially in the route to qualification as an architect, I’d highly recommend contacting RIBA (Royal Institute of British Architects). They will know better than anyone what courses they support and any other additional information you may need to consider too! I hope all goes to plan for you! :smile:
