Course Overview

Behind every grand design is great technique. In our increasingly digital-driven built environment, our Architectural Design and Technology degree is a route to a rewarding career where you can make amazing design concepts a reality.

By applying high-level design skills and sophisticated software applications, architectural technologists carry a concept through to its final design. Drawing on our strong industry connections and competencies our Chartered Institute of Architectural Technologists (CIAT) accredited course will lead you through the technical, operational and environmental details of building creation.

During your studies, you'll build BIM and CAD design skills, work on live briefs, learn to manage design information, and appreciate the value of robust design in transforming our built environment.

You will:

  • Explore digital technologies shaping the profession, as you gain hands-on experience using key equipment and software packages used by industry professionals

  • Enhance your knowledge and eye for good design as you build an awareness of materials, industry regulations, contemporary production methods and end-user requirements

  • Examine the role of nature, people and technology in design, and the physical, legal, economic, social and environmental dimensions that impact on the building design process

  • Develop key skills in project appraisal, team working, critical analysis and problem solving as you prepare for a professional career role
