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.
