Architectural Apprentices at Level 6, which is equivalent to a Bachelor’s degree, can expect to earn in a range from approximately £22,500 to £25,000 per year. These apprenticeships combine practical on-the-job training with academic study, providing a strong foundation in architectural principles and technical skills.
For Architectural Apprentices undertaking a Level 7 program, equivalent to a Master’s level qualification, salaries typically see an increase as they gain more experience. In the first one to two years, a Level 7 apprentice might earn between £26,500 and £28,500. This can then rise to a range of £31,000 to £33,000 as they progress through their third and fourth years of the program.
While specific data exclusively for architectural apprentices across all UK regions is not always readily available, general trends in the architectural profession indicate that salaries in London tend to be higher than the UK average. Therefore, an Architectural Apprentice in London might generally expect to earn towards the higher end of the national ranges, reflecting the increased cost of living and concentration of larger practices in the capital.
An Architectural Apprentice’s salary can be influenced by several factors, including the size and type of the architectural practice they are working for, with larger firms sometimes offering more structured pay scales. The specific projects or sector the practice specialises in can also play a role, as well as the apprentice’s progress and performance within their apprenticeship program.
Upon successful completion of an Architectural Apprenticeship and subsequent qualification (such as achieving ARB/RIBA registration), a newly qualified architect can anticipate a significant increase in their earning potential. A recently qualified architect might earn in the range of £37,700 to £43,600, with further increases as they gain more post-qualification experience and take on roles like Project Architect or Senior Architect.
