There are no ‘essential subjects’ required for you to study Architecture. However most universities insist that you have a pass in Mathematics. Art can be an advantage, as can Engineering, Graphics and Design (EGD). Physics can also be informative.
According to section 18 (2) of the Architectural Profession Act 44 of 2000, a person may not practise in any of the registration categories, unless registered with SACAP. Therefore, if any person wants to practice architecture, she or he must be registered. Any person who seeks to provide architectural services of any nature to the public must register.
