Registration in the Dutch Register of Architects
The titles of architect, urban planner, landscape architect and interior architect are protected by the Dutch Architect’s Title Act. In the Netherlands, only persons who are entered in the Dutch Register of Architects are permitted to use these titles otherwise you are professionally called interior designer and not architect. If you plan to work in the Netherlands after your studies as a registered interior architect, also your BA diploma needs to be in line with the conditions of the Dutch Register of Architects. From 1 January 2015, you must then also complete a professional traineeship after receiving your (master’s) diploma before you can enter your name in the Dutch Register of Architects.
