We can provide some general information, but it’s important to note that specific regulations and requirements can vary between countries and can change over time. Therefore, it is advisable to consult with the relevant authorities or professional organizations in the specific European country you are interested in working in to obtain the most accurate and up-to-date information.
That being said, in many cases, the qualifications and degrees obtained in one country may not automatically grant you the same professional status or recognition in another country. European countries often have their own specific requirements for assistant architects, and these requirements may include further education, professional examinations, or registration with a national architecture board or professional organization.
To work as an assistant architect in a European country, you may need to go through a process of recognition of your qualifications. This process typically involves submitting your educational credentials, transcripts, and any other relevant documentation to the relevant authority or professional organization for evaluation. They will assess your qualifications and determine if they meet the local standards for architecture practice. Depending on the outcome, you may be required to complete additional education, exams, or practical experience to gain recognition as an architect in that country.
In Europe, the recognition of qualifications is often facilitated through the Directive on Recognition of Professional Qualifications, which aims to streamline the recognition process across European Union (EU) member states. However, since Malaysia is not a member of the EU, there may be additional steps and requirements involved.
It is strongly recommended that you contact the relevant architecture board or professional organization in the specific European country where you wish to work. They will be able to provide you with the most accurate and detailed information about the recognition process, any additional requirements, and the steps you need to take to practice as an architect in their country.
