    I’m Muhammed Ashiq from India. I’m planning to do my masters(part2 RIBA) from UK from coming september. Is there any possibility to get any part time job in architecture field, so that I’ll be able to get 2 years of experience after my graduation. Is this really tough??

    Hi Muhammed, it is difficult but not impossible. Most employers in Architecture do look for full-time employment, but I have seen some examples of Part-Time work. Have a look at some of the other resources I’ve made on the Architecture Social here, which further answers your questions. I hope that helps!
