Namibia Institute of Architects – How to be An Architect
Education / Becoming An Architect
University Requirements
Students will require a School leaving Certificate with a University Exemption. Most Universities will require Mathematics as a high school subject.
Art is usually not a requirement, however creative and problem-solving abilities will be an advantage when studying Architecture, and some Universities require an art portfolio as an admission requirement.
Today architects are not only involved in the challenge of creating the buildings that form our cities and towns, but are also broadly involved in the concerns and well being of society.
All students should make enquiries with the individual institutions for their entrance requirements as well as their accreditation status with the National and international Architects Registration boards before applying with any of the listed Institutions.
