  • Salaries may rise with experience and when chartered status is achieved.
  • Contracted working hours may be 9am to 5pm, Monday to Friday, but it is not uncommon for architects to work long hours, including evenings and weekends.
  • Architects are predominantly office based, but their work does include out-of-office visits to both clients and sites. Appropriate safety equipment, such as protective boots and headgear, must be worn on site.
  • Self-employment or freelance work is possible, especially for experienced architects.
  • Part-time work or career breaks may be possible in some organisations, although are generally fairly uncommon.

  • Opportunities exist throughout the UK and abroad with many large private practices having overseas offices or contracts. Graduate opportunities abroad also exist.
