Abstract
The Faculty of Architecture at Cracow University of Technology (FA-CUT) is the only architectural university in the country, and the third in Central and Eastern Europe to give its graduates a Polish and British diploma after five years of Master’s studies, and has been doing so since May 2000. Accreditation by the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) makes it easier for graduates of the Faculty to begin working with architectural offices all over the world, on every continent - in Western Europe, America and the British Commonwealth, as well. In England, an architect has to pass the three-stage RIBA examination to acquire a licence enabling them to practise the profession independently. The RIBA Accreditation Commission acknowledged that five years of studies at the FA-CUT, as well as a diploma examination and the defence of a diploma project, correspond to the completion of two degrees of the RIBA examinations (RIBA 1 and RIBA 2). The third degree (RIBA 3), as in Poland, can be completed after a few years of professional practice and an examination in the regulations of the local building and contracting law.
