About this course
Explore our BSc Architectural Technology, where innovation meets design. Gain in-depth knowledge in building technology, sustainable architecture, and construction systems. Prepare for a dynamic career at the intersection of architecture and construction, shaping the future of sustainable building design.

Skills
Architectural Technologists specialise in the technical aspects of building design and construction, working closely with architects to translate their concepts into detailed, workable plans. They develop technical drawings and specifications, ensure compliance with regulations and codes, and select appropriate materials and construction methods. They also address technical issues that arise during construction.

Through our collaboration with professional bodies, local industry, and government, you’ll study a degree that is industry relevant. You will graduate with the skills required by the sector and the ability to develop as it changes.

Career opportunities
Internationally, nationally and regionally, there are a host of opportunities for you as a graduate. There is a significant demand in many architecture practices to employ architectural technologists to lead on the technical, environmental and legislative elements of building design. Many Architectural Technologists also choose to set up their own practice. You could also specialise in Computer Aided Design (CAD), building simulation, environmental and ecological consultancy services, Virtual and Augmented Reality, visualisation, digital scanning and digital fabrication, project and construction management, and Design & Build services.
