Architectural Technology (with Foundation Year)

There's more than one way into a successful career in architectural technology. If you don't meet the entry requirements for our BSc (Hons) Architectural Technology programme but you have the experience, maturity and determination to work in the sector, then this course is for you.

This foundation year isn’t a freestanding degree - but it’s the perfect preparation for one. Think of it as the first year in a four-year period of studying that will lead to the BSc (Hons) Architectural Technology degree at LSBU (upon successful completion of the foundation year).
