Welcome to the machine: the harsh realities of learning in practice

摘要

For the first time, this year's AJ's student survey focused exclusively on how the nation's next generation of architects have found professional working life. The questionnaire, completed by more than 450 UK-based students, shines a light on the differing and numerous struggles along the road to qualification. Concerns range from low payand long hours to feelings of being unprepared and disillusioned. The survey shows how experiences vary significantly from those embarking on an architectural education at Part 1 to students coming to the end of their Part3.
