ABSTRACT
Architecture. Although these visits had been in the past run jointly with the ARB, under the current Prescription Procedures the ARB need no longer participate in visits to Schools of Architecture. Nevertheless the two institutions continue to work closely in the development and monitoring of criteria for assessment and validation of courses. For example, the criteria used by the ARB to prescribe qualifi cations and the RIBA to validate qualifi cations are jointly held. These are currently under review, but the intention is that the new criteria will similarly be agreed and applied by both institutions.
