Welcome to the forums.

What is it you're really asking? Presumably you're aware that if you want to become an architect, then you should apply to an architecture course at university?

I had a friend that went through architecture training, when he went through it (in the UK) it was a 4 year degree, 3 year post-grad training with the next step involving finding an internship at an architecture firm.

Yea I do have university options where I can apply for architecture... Thing is all I know about how to go around architecture would be to first get a B.Arch. degree and then M.Arch. degree. The B.Arch. course here is four years as well and the M.Arch. degree is another two years. After that I'm completely clueless where to go or what to do =O

So, you have a plan for the next six years but just want to know what to do after...? With a degree in architecture, you'll be on the route to becoming an architect. If that's what you want to do, then you have enough information for the time being so I'm not really sure what you're looking for.

I am not an expert in the field of architecture, but I can offer some general advice on seeking career counseling. First, it is important to identify your interests and strengths in relation to the field of architecture. This can help guide your decision-making process and give you a better understanding of what type of architecture career may be a good fit for you.

You may want to consider reaching out to a career counselor who specializes in working with individuals interested in architecture. They can provide you with personalized guidance and resources to help you explore different paths within the field and determine which one aligns with your goals and interests.

Additionally, you may want to research different architecture programs and speak with current architecture students or professionals to gain insight into the industry. This can give you a better understanding of the skills and knowledge required for a successful career in architecture.

It is also important to keep in mind that your A level subjects may not directly relate to architecture, but they can still provide valuable skills and knowledge that can be applied to the field. For example, your background in physics and math can be beneficial in understanding the structural and technical aspects of architecture.

Overall, seeking career counseling is a great first step in exploring your interest in architecture and determining if it is the right career path for you. Remember to also do your own research and talk to individuals in the field to gain a better understanding of what it takes to be successful in architecture. Best of luck in your future endeavors!
