It is not a RIBA accredited course. Are you looking for a part 2 course with the intention of qualifying as an architect?

I am international student. I have already got my architact diploma in Algeria, it's an additional course for me but I want to know if this course could allow me to work in architecture firm or within construction projects?

In the UK, the title 'architect' is protected by law and can only be used by those on the Architect's Register who have received the appropriate training and experience (usually by completing RIBA-approved courses and professional practice experience over the course of seven years). Although you wouldn't be able to work as an architect in the UK, your qualifications might enable you to work in architecture and construction firms as an architectural technologist, or similar.
