In partnership with Belfast’s two schools of architecture, RSUA has launched the Professional Insights Programme 2020/21. This is the second full year of the programme which was shaped by a two-year pilot. RSUA was pleased that both universities attended and the programme was supported by fifty architects this year.
The programme will be a little different this year. Due to restrictions currently place at the two schools of architecture, all programme activity must be hosted online. RSUA held an online event where students were paired with their architects and can now establish contact before Christmas.
The aim of the programme is to give undergraduate students an initial understanding of the real-life work of an architect. This will help students better connect their current studies to their future professional life. RSUA records its thanks to the architects and practices below:
