Hello po. Is bachelors degree in architecture in the philippines already equivalent to bachelors degree in australia? Sino na po nakatry or na-assess po dito? Thanks po.
Hi Junalie, check mo sa google kung anong exam ang kailangan mo itake dito sa australia usually ang first step na makikita mo kung ihohonour yun school mo dito tapos if yes pwede ka magproceed mag exam to be licensed here. Usually ganyan process, kung ayaw mo mag exam pwede ka magschool nalang ng masters or bachelors. Hope it helps đŸ™‚
Doing a bachelor's degree in architecture in Australia will not help someone who already has completed one in the Philippines. Only a Master of Architecture will be useful for migration and registration purposes.
The only body/organisation relevant to architecture registration in Australia is AACA. The process for getting registered in Australia is clearly specified in the AACA website: [https://aaca.org.au/registration-as-an-architect/](https://aaca.org.au/registration-as-an-architect/)
The first step to registration is getting an accredited MArch degree in architecture, but the BS Architecture in the PH is not on the list of degrees recognized to be equivalent to the Australian MArch. This is the main problem for PH graduates, as it is difficult to get a positive skills assessment for migration purposes with just the BS degree alone. To be eligible for migration and/or registration, you either do further studies (accredited MArch), submit OQA (need to do both stages 1 & 2; and it is only recommended if you have already completed a master's degree), or sign up to do NPrA.
One cannot take the APE (Architecture Practice Exam, equivalent to the board exam in the PH) without getting that degree equivalency. But once you do pass one of the three pathways, you can then be eligible for APE (which consists of logging work experience, the actual exam, and an interview).
