A new agreement recognising UK professional qualifications in Switzerland is being signed today

UK and Switzerland sign deal recognising professional qualifications in both countries

 The UK government signed an agreement giving UK-qualified architects recognition in Switzerland and granting Swiss architects the same privilege in the UK

“My upbringing in the Swiss Alps has been instrumental to my career as an architect, which has been rooted in London for nearly two decades and encompasses important public projects and civic interventions in both countries, including recently the major Andermatt Concert Hall at the historical centre of Switzerland.

As architects, our thinking and our industry are global. This agreement lowers the barriers for us to do our work, and ensures that we can continue to make meaningful contributions to our cities, economies, and communities in Switzerland and the UK.”
