Hello and welcome to episode 10 of Archipod!

Today I am joined by Oliver and Imogen who both work at MawsonKerr Architects (a small practice based in Newcastle Upon Tyne) and in this episode, we discuss the different routes into architectural careers. Imogen is working as a part II Architectural designer at MawsonKerr and currently doing her Part II through the degree apprenticeship at Northumbria University, she discusses what it is like to work alongside her studies as well as the route to part III as a DA student. Oliver is a fully qualified architect and works full-time as a project architect at MawsonKerr, he is also a trustee of the Northern architectural association and in this episode, he discusses his experience through Masters and Part III as well as working alongside his Masters.

Thank you for listening and enjoy!

** I apologise for any background noises, we recorded this episode in MawsonKerr's working office (which is really cool by the way) **

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who has listened so far. If someone told me a year ago that I have recorded, edited and released 10 episodes of an architecture podcast, I would have laughed in their face. I am so thankful for everyone who has participated in the episodes so far, I can't believe that I get to talk and discuss architecture with people that I look up to and admire so much. A huge reason I started Archipod was because of the lack of information there was about architectural education and careers, I had a lot of questions and I knew everyone else did too. I started my degree in covid, and I found it difficult to put myself out there and ask the questions that I wanted to ask, so I thought "hey, why not start an architecture podcast?" but I never thought it would become what it has. I've learnt a lot through these podcasts and I feel prepared to move into my architectural career. I hope it has helped you as much as it has helped me and thank you for listening to ten episodes of my dumb voice :)
