Architect
Career information and advice on being a Architect

In the United Kingdom you will find most job opportunities in the private sector. Your personal drive, ambition and talent are ultimately responsible for your progression in the industry as there is no standard promotional guide. You could become a partner, set up your own practice, freelance or specialise in one particular area such as residential where you could work with a Property Developer.

Worldwide, the building industry boom means that there is opportunity for growth and travel within the industry, especially in areas such as the Middle East and China. A knowledge of local laws and language would need to be considered if these destinations were areas in which you would like to live and practice. Many large firms in the United Kingdom also have offices abroad that may enable you to work out of different offices if these positions were available.
