Practical experience is a requirement of architectural education: students are required to demonstrate key professional skills and competencies at the Part 3 professional examination which is the last stage before qualification as an architect.<\/p>\n<p>Students of architecture can gain key experience at all stages of their architectural education. This bursary scheme provides assistance to students and graduates who are limited by financial constraints so that they can take advantage of opportunities for practical experience that will assist on their route to qualification as an architect.<\/p>\n<p>These bursaries are funded by the bequest of Walter J Parker, who left a legacy to support the apprenticeship and professional training of architects experiencing financial hardship, and are known as the RIBA Walter Parker Bursaries.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Further details<\/span>: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.architecture.com\/EducationAndCareers\/PrizesScholarshipsandBursaries\/Undergraduategraduatescholarshipsbursaries\/RIBAWalterParkerBursaries.aspx#.UZOwIspRYqI\" target=\"_blank\">LINK<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Norman Foster Travelling Scholarship<\/strong><br \/>\n<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">RIBA writes<\/span>:<br \/>\nLord Foster said: &#8216;As a student I won a prize that allowed me to spend a summer travelling through Europe and to study first hand buildings and cities that I knew only from the pages of books.
