BArch (Hons) at ATU secures RIAI accreditation

The Bachelor of Architecture at Atlantic Technological University (ATU) officially became Ireland's newest Architecture programme, following the RIAI Accreditation Procedures and ratification by the RIAI Council on Friday 18 October. This designation positions ATU as the sixth university in Ireland offering an RIAI-accredited qualification in architecture.

This momentous achievement is a credit to the work and dedication of staff and students throughout the 6 year process. The milestone was marked with an exhibition of graduate student work at The Canopy, O’Connell Street, Sligo, to coincide with the announcement.

Welcoming the announcement of the RIAI accreditation, ATU President, Dr Orla Flynn said, “We extend our gratitude to the RIAI for their accreditation and their guidance throughout the process over the years.

This accreditation not only enhances our academic offerings but also creates vital opportunities for our students to engage in a programme that is both relevant and responsive to contemporary architectural challenges.  Having an RIAI accredited course will allow architecture students to study and work in the region.”
