Course Overview

Becoming an Architectural Technologist requires specialist skills and confidence – on our new BSc (Hons) Architectural Technology course you’ll gain those skills and knowledge to help construction design teams bring new structures to life. Based at UCA Canterbury’s School of Architecture and Design, you’ll learn a wide range of spatial practices, and the value that an Architectural Technologist can add to architectural practice and society. As well as having access to our extensive facilities, including advanced forms of fabrication and prototyping, the latest scanning and VR technology, and traditional crafts, you’ll also learn advanced forms of digital modeling and control, such as building information modeling (BIM), using these tools to develop your approaches to challenges of building construction and detail. Along the way, you’ll be guided by our team of academics and a wide range of industry professionals, and collaborative opportunities alongside students across the School of Architecture and Design will give you an enriched experience where specialized learning is combined with new perspectives and approaches to broaden your horizons. As part of the course, you'll benefit from interaction with industry through live project opportunities, masterclasses, and optionally - professional work experience placement, if you choose the Professional Practice Year pathway – building industry-relevant skills to ensure that you graduate ready for the workplace.
