Is it possible to obtain a practicing certificate in construction design with a major in architecture?
Based on Clause 3, Article 2 of Circular 08/2018/TT-BXD, individuals applying for a professional license in construction project design must have specific professional qualifications in the following specializations:
- Architectural project design: The professional training must be in the field of architecture;
- Structural design for civil-industrial projects: The professional training must be in the field of construction engineering that includes subjects related to the structural design of civil-industrial projects;
- Mechanical-Electrical project design: The professional training must be in a technical field related to the design of electrical, mechanical, ventilation, and heating systems;
- Water supply and drainage project design: The professional training must be in a technical field related to water supply and drainage design;
- Transportation project design: The professional training must be in the field of transportation construction engineering;
- Agricultural and rural development project design: The professional training must be in the field of construction engineering related to agricultural and rural development projects;
- Technical infrastructure project design: The professional training must be in a technical field related to the design of technical infrastructure projects.
=> Therefore, if you graduate from university with a major in architecture, you will meet the professional qualifications to be granted a professional license in construction project design. However, the license will only be granted for the field of architectural project design.
The above is the provided support!
