Introduction

UWE offers professional experience supervision for architecture students undertaking work in practice and who are completing a Professional Experience Development Record (PEDR).

The RIBA PEDR website gives clear and detailed information about the PEDR process. To use their PEDR recording system you will have to register and pay a 13-month or 6-month subscription.

A record of your experience forms a compulsory part of the documentary submission required for the Examination in Professional Practice and Management (RIBA Part 3). 

Your registration with UWE provides supervision, advice and guidance from a Professional Studies Advisor (PSA).

Supervision for students undertaking a minimum of 12 months experience is delivered through 2 non accredited UWE modules:

  • PEDR Stage 1 - Architecture (code UBLLPJ-10-3)
  • PEDR Stage 2 - Architecture (code UBLMCN-10-M)

Both modules are available to all architecture students, regardless of which university they are/have been attending or where they are based.

The Stage 2 module is typically linked to the UWE Part 3 Architecture course: Professional Practice and Management in Architecture, however students who have completed their Part 2 studies but who are not enrolled on the UWE Part 3 programme are still welcome to enrol.

For students who do not require a full 12 months of supervision, UWE also offers a one-off purchase option. This enables Stage 1 and 2 students to receive professional studies supervision per quarter (3 months) and to submit Single Professional Experience Development Record (PEDR) Sheets.

Students undertaking Part 3 who have accrued 6 years or more experience with a minimum of 12 months work in practice after commencing a Part 2 course may opt to complete Certificates of Professional Experience in lieu of PEDRs. The certificates are required to be reviewed by a PSA or Part 3 programme leader. UWE offers this as a one-off purchase option.
