Job

It’s that time of year again where the academic calendar has come to a close. If you’re in your final year, you’ve ‘survived’ architecture school and are ready to enter the world of professional practice.

Hello, I'm Theo Jones from Green Mat Workshop and part of the hiring team at Architecture for London. I review hundreds of applications each year, so I hope my employer-side insight can assist you with your upcoming job search.

It’s that time of year where you’re probably wondering how to get the architecture job you’re looking for. If, like me, you’ve just graduated from architecture school, you’re starting to think about the next step in your career.

The most daunting part for any university graduate is, well, graduating and looking for a job. Although this doesn’t have to be the next step, this is typically the direction in which you would head in after completing your undergraduate degree.

About six years ago I started working at an architecture practice as a Part 2 at a big London practice.

When I started senior year, I decided to pursue a master’s of architecture right after graduation. I started hunting down the tests I need to take, the list of universities that I could apply for, the programs available, and whether I should apply for a scholarship. All the planning went steady for a while until the pandemic hit.

Hello again all. Today we are progressing further beyond the basic technical skills that often seem to be avoided while we are studying and into the realms of more legislative aspects of being an architect.
