dc.description.abstract | This paper aims to recognise the possibilities that Spanish architecture students currently have for the
acquisition of professional competencies collaborating as interns in an architecture office.
Since the approval in 2007 of the Royal Decree which establishes the new structure of the official
university diplomas within the European Higher Education Area (EHEA), bachelor studies have
progressively adapted to a new system based on a competence perspective, as a way to guarantee
the learning of skills and abilities for the development of the future professional activity. The increase
in the degree of employability of graduates should be a priority objective of the degrees. Thus, it is
necessary to analyse the mechanisms that the different Spanish Schools of Architecture are currently
developing to achieve this goal.
In Architecture, compared to other professions regulated by the Government, professional internships
are optional, whereas in others as is compulsory. However, in other European countries such as
France or the Netherlands, they are compulsory -in some cases, only if graduates want to exercise
professional architectural on their own-. Many authors emphasise on the practical experience as one
of the main tools to guarantee the success of graduates in their job search. The level of
unemployment among recent graduates in Spain is at a 30%, three times higher than the European
average, according to the latest CYD Foundation report. Undoubtedly, internships represent an
opportunity to generate professional synergies, in which students can acquire complementary skills to
face their future work with higher guarantees.
The research will start analysing the architectural internship programmes trajectory in Architecture
after the adjustment of the Bachelor of Architecture to the Bologna Process. The first stage for this
connection with the profession may appear from the teaching methodologies used. Traditionally, in
Architecture, they have been based on problem-based learning approaches since students are
required to make decisions, evaluate actions, and make judgments for architectural and urban
designs. The link of architecture students with professional firms during their university education has
also been a common practice. These internships have been linked to local companies and, more
recently, to international internship programmes such as Erasmus or Faro. The trajectory of Arquia
Foundation is highlighted, although its scope is quite low. Since 1999, this organisation has annually
awarded around 15 and 20 internships for students and young architects. However, many of them
were not included in the pre-Bologna curriculums.
The conclusions of this retrospective analysis will be confronted with the professional competencies
currently required for architects, through the revision of the present regulatory framework. We will
consider the European guidelines and the specific competence content included in the White Paper on
Architectural Education. In this sense, the revision of the curricula of different Spanish Architecture
Schools will be approached from various perspectives. The selection procedures of companies and
candidates would be analysed, as well as and their degree of adaptation to the new professional
demands and the existence or not of a remuneration. Finally, they will be compared to references in
architectural internship programmes in other European contexts. | es |
