| I suspect she'll have to go for a diploma since she has no background experience in architecture besides doing some very basic work in structural engineering as a consultant. From what I see AA isn't all that expensive when you consider that she'd receive no government aid from the UK at UCL, Edinburgh or Cambridge because she's a US citizen.
If you don't mind me asking (since I personally have no clue), what's the deal with the UK system v. the US system? A diploma in England is what, 2-3 years? And then you go into an MArch? Is that because of various governing credential bodies or something? I've noticed in the US that you can go straight into an MArch with no background in architecture at all (while all the architecture programs I've seen in Britain require a bachelors in architecture or an equivalent), so I'm wondering what/why that difference is. |
