提到英国的建筑专业，很多人都知道RIBA认证，但是很多人并不了解是怎么一回事。在英国，要以建筑师的身份参与项目和设计方案，一定获得英国皇家建筑师(RIBA)的资格认证。英国皇家建筑师(RIBA：Royal Institute of British Architects)资格认证一共分为3个部分：

　　RIBA Part 1: 经过大学本科的三年学习，或者本科的学位证书。一般学生在第一年学习过程中就可以成为RIBA学生会员;毕业后需要在业内实习一年Stage 1 practical experience/year out， 才有机会进行第二部分的学习;

　　RIBA Part 2: 一般是两年的时间，拿到硕士学位。需要1-2年的工作经验Stage 2 practical experience进行第三部分的进修学习或者直接考试。

　　RIBA Part 3: 最后的资格考试，一般从下面几个方面考核：

　　· 24 months of practical experience recorded on the PEDR website

　　· Professional CV and career evaluation

　　· Case study

　　· Written examination

　　· Final oral examination

　　Architect: 拿到了这三个部分的资格以后就可以在Architects Registration Board(ARB)注册成为一名建筑师了。

　　大师之所以成为大师，层层考核和深厚的功底可见一斑哪。对于中国的大学毕业生申请建筑类研究生课程，拿到RIBA认证还是很难的。英国那些学校的课程获得了RIBA认证呢?截止到2014年7月9日，有48所英国大学院校，下面列举部分院校专业如下：
