PgDip in Architecture: Professional Practice (ARB/RIBA Part 3)
The Diploma in Professional Practice (DPP) is designed to be undertaken while in employment, and is offered on a fully distance learning or blended learning basis.
Now I have the knowledge of legal, procedural, and management matters relating to the practice of Architecture. It has certainly informed my day-to-day practice already! The blend of teaching methods including online seminars and workshops, face-to-face lectures, guest speakers, and weekly blog posts made the course engaging and kept us informed of current developments in the industry.
Study options
There are four options for enrolling on this programme:
- Full time blended learning
- Full time distance learning
- Part time blended learning
- Part time distance learning
“Full time’ means that you complete within one academic year (September – May). ‘Part time’ allows you to spread the modules over two years. ‘Blended learning’ means that you attend some events on campus (normally five full days) and some online (a further seven). ‘Distance learning’ means that you attend all 12 events online.
