Working after ARCHITECTURE PART 2 international student

[rgv dxt]

Hello,
I am about to finish my part 2 in architecture (Year 5).
In order to continue with my part 3 I need to get two years of work experience in U.K before I can take exams for part 3 and without that two years of work experience I can not continue.
I've read that professions like Doctors, Lawyers and architects have exceptions and can be eligible for work experience.
I would like to know if there is a way to get that work experience so that i can continue with my part 3, if so how can i start the process.

Thank you

P.S I am an Indian Overseas student on Tier 4 visa

This may be a question for your university (careers service) & international student support service.

As it says there, you need to discuss with your university how and if you can do the work experience between parts 1 and 2.

You will need to find an employer to offer you the two years professional practise.
As you are a Tier 4 visa holder you will require a tier 2 general visa to take such employment.
