Course summary

Gain industry experience as you learn how to take a building from concept to completion. You’ll enhance your design skills and technical understanding of how buildings work. As part of your course, you’ll:

  • Design and detail buildings to bring ideas to life
  • Enhance your understanding of working in the field through site visits and live projects
  • Work on a wide range of design projects, from small domestic to large-scale commercial buildings
  • Study a variety of subjects to become proficient in construction technology, materials, legislation and management
  • Spend time in the design studio, using industry-standard design suites to develop and apply your skills on building design projects
ACCREDITATION This course is accredited by the Chartered Institute of Architectural Technologists. Find out more Work in industry You’ll have the chance to take a ‘sandwich’ year – a year of paid employment in industry, which will build your skills and experience. This is usually taken between the second and third year of your degree, typically making your course four years in total. A sandwich year can help with your studies and make it easier to get a job after graduation. It can also build your confidence, contacts, and of course your CV. We advertise lots of placement opportunities and provide support in helping you find the right placement for you. Build professional contacts You’ll have the opportunity to exhibit your work to visiting professionals from industry and to make contacts in the industry through professional development sessions. This is where we invite experts to review and feedback on your work, as well as showcase presentations from CIAT (Chartered Institute of Architectural Technologists). Professional qualification Successful completion of this course provides exemption from the educational requirements of the CIAT professional qualification. Graduates of the course are eligible to apply for associate membership of CIAT and begin the professional qualification. Software used The dedicated Computer Aided Design (CAD) suite and specialist software, such as REVIT, will allow you to develop skills in 3D design and building information modelling.
