system to transfer to the AA undergraduate course?
Yes. Students can apply to transfer into the Second, Third or Fourth year (see question 1). An applicant with a four-year undergraduate degree from the US could apply to enter the Diploma School at the AA (a two-year programme, the Fourth and Fifth year of the five-year ‘undergraduate’ course). The Diploma is a post-degree professional course leading to RIBA/ARB Part 2 and AA Diploma. The Diploma is the UK qualification which is most similar to an MArch I. Students applying for Fourth Year must gain RIBA/ARB Part 1 exemption before entering the Diploma School. Some students prefer to er the year at the AA to gain Part 1 exemption by successfully completing an academic year (3 terms) in the 3rd year before entering the Diploma school.
