unless you went to a program in the us that gave you part II qualifiation [i think u of maryland does] you have to have your degree qualified as part i and part ii which will cost you £2000 - and lots of head aches. once you achieve part ii you are then allowed to do part iii which requires some practical exp and course work [contract management which is beyond professional practice in us courses]. all uk schools offer some program which last anywhere from 2 weeks full time - such as the AA to a year - 1/per week or per month. look at the riba web site for links to programs.
if your going to practice in the uk the part iii course is good.
for reciprocity to eu - its much more complicated --- if you are a native born european and are qualified in a country - you generally get reciprocity if you have practiced in that country for some 2 years -- the rules vary greatly and vary if your a born european of a passport euro. and being european varies as not all europeans are part of the eu - non eu nationals basically go through the same bs as the americans do.

Licensure in the UK
Just curious what is the licensing procedure in the UK ? Do they accept M.Arch from the US as equivalent ?
I'd also be curious how it works throughout Europe, I have no clue
us march - no.

fyi. in the netherlands its dead easy. you just have to show your degrees (masters) and boom shanka!
ps. as TED mentioned non-EU is a BIT harder but not much. they just check that the degree is equivalent. no work experience needed.
i guess it helps to speak dutch?
holz. actually that is not a requirement. there is no exam or anything.
ok, the application form is in dutch.
there is talk that they want to change the system and make it more like the UK and US. ahhhhh the freedom of the netherlands is slipping away.
what next, banning the ol mary jane.
p2an: soon you will need 2 years of experience before you are a registered architect. SBA and BNA are working on this.
