Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Architectural Technology (Sandwich Year)

This professionally-focused course is the gateway to a career in the architecture industry. Students will explore how buildings are created, procured, constructed and managed, and develop a practical and imaginative approach to design through a project-based learning experience. As a specialist in architectural technology, students will be the link between concept and reality. Students will learn to identify, assess and challenge client and user requirements, translating ideas and possibilities into effective, practical and sustainable building solutions. Based in the Grade II listed Gothic Revival style Arkwright building, students will study in a studio culture that reflects modern practice, preparing them for their graduate career from day one.

The first two years of the course focus on the introduction and integration of technological and design theory into practice.

The final year modules are designed to provide opportunities to develop the student's professional portfolio of work. All modules have been designed to meet the QAA subject benchmarks and CIAT or CIOB course learning outcomes.

Please be advised that this program includes a sandwich year, which will be studied during the student's undergraduate degree.
