Architecture graduates can follow the very definite career path of an architect. Once graduated there are another four years of study and work experience required before being entitled to be known as an architect: a two year masters course and then a minimum twelve months in professional training that leads to an examination in Professional Practice and Management in Architecture. Only after this can you be registered as an architect with the Architects Registration Board or become a chartered Architect through the institute of Royal Institute of British Architects.

Among 2010 graduates, 8.5 percent chose to studying while 7.3 percent opted to work and study. Some 65.9 percent entered employment and, of those, nearly half work in an Associate Professional or Technical Occupation. Many graduates follow different career routes as an architecture degree will have developed the ability to project manage, problem solve, work in teams, laterally think, be creative and design. Therefore common career alternatives for architecture graduates are in conservation, landscape design, surveying and interior designing. Outside of this candidates have gained an obvious eye for design and creativity and may move into more artistic roles such as within marketing teams or involved in web design. Out of the 2010 graduates, nearly one if five worked in the marketing, commercial or public sector.
