ABSTRACT
The current form of architectural education in the UK is relatively new. Prior to the Oxford Conference of 1958 the profession had been the product of a predominantly office-based educational process, enhanced (or for some disturbed) by an examination system and a variety of educational opportunities to support the candidates. In fact it was not until the 1980s that the majority of registered architects entered the profession through a combination of five years of full-time education and a minimum of two years of supervised practical training.
