Are you based in the South West and thinking of taking part in the RIBA mentoring programme? We currently work with five Schools of Architecture in the South West – Falmouth University, Plymouth University, University of Bath, University of the West of England (UWE) and Arts University Bournemouth.

Each year the programme in the South West is oversubscribed so we need your help, to help us support as many Future Architects as we can! The time commitment is less than you think and we welcome applications from all sizes of practice.

At the session you’ll meet Nathalie Morton, your local contact and RIBA Regional Engagement Partner for the South West & Wessex. You will find out about being a mentor, the sign up process, how we match mentors and mentees and some guidance on running the sessions.

There will be plenty of time for questions.

Who this is for?

RIBA Chartered Architects and Architects at RIBA Chartered Practices in the South of England.

This online session is suitable for both for those new to the programme, and those who have taken part before but would like a refresher, have some questions or would like to connect with other mentors.

About RIBA Future Architects

RIBA champions architects at all stages with education, professional development, support and opportunities for a better future.

We facilitate a mentoring programme for architecture students every year, bringing practices into education to support the next generation.

This flexible programme is a great way for students to gain invaluable experience in practice and real-life insight into the profession.

For architects working within RIBA Chartered Practices, the Future Architects mentoring scheme is an opportunity to connect with RIBA Schools of Architecture and support students of architecture to prepare for a life in architectural practice. By taking part, you will also be eligible to record this for CPD points.
