Architectural Technology BSc(Hons)

Our Architectural Technology BSc(Hons) course is your first step to becoming a qualified architectural technologist. The course is accredited by the Chartered Institute of Architectural Technologists and the Chartered Association of Building Engineers and it has been developed to work alongside our Architecture BA(Hons) and courses in Construction Project Management and Quantity Surveying. This helps you develop a strong understanding of professionalism and multidisciplinary within the construction industry.

Our practice-led course introduces you to aspects of building technology and digital detailing, as well as design and construction process improvement. This Architectural Technology course takes a rigorous approach to conventional building technologies and architectural detailing. You’ll be encouraged to develop skills aligned to the state-of-the-art in industry, with an emphasis on enterprise and continuing professional development.

You could have the opportunity to work in a range of architectural and construction-related areas, while becoming prepared for further study and research. Following this course, you could go on to become a practitioner, through a thorough understanding of how context, climate, culture, materials and building systems influence architectural technology. You’ll acquire expertise in the latest construction digitalisation strategies, such as Building Information Modelling (BIM), and on strategies to improve value and reduce waste through Lean Construction.

On this course, you’ll develop the skills to become a creative architectural technologist, capable of managing the progress of a construction project, whilst understanding the materials, components, structural systems, and environments behind the world’s best buildings.
