HNC Architectural Technology

Course Overview

This course has been designed to provide an additional access route to degree study in the built environment. 

Taught in the same culture and environment as the architectural technology degree, you will become immersed in practical design studio work, with projects allowing you to build a strong portfolio of work to take on to degree-level study.  

Successful completion of the course will give you direct entry to year two of the degree program. 

UHI Inverness also has a limited number of places on this course for local senior-phase pupils to study in their sixth year at school. Students taking this option can go on to complete the honors degree with us in three years and potentially start earning a graduate salary a year early.
