Architectural technology specialises in the science of architecture, building design and construction. The programme teaches a broad range of topics from construction technology, surveying, material science and structural appreciation. It considers sustainability, energy assessment, conversion and the adaptation of buildings. Additionally, you can learn about industry services, law and architecture studio design, learning practical and visualisation skills using CAD and through model making.

Year 1: History of Architecture Design Principles, Construction Technology 1, CAD & Visualisation/ Architectural Model Making, Science, Structural Appreciation & Materials, and Surveying & Measuring Buildings and Built Environment Issues Academic & Professional Skills. Year 2: Construction Technology & Architectural Detailing, Energy Assessment, Research Methods & GIS, Architectural Studio Design, Conversion & Adaptation of Buildings, and Built Environmental Services.

Assessments used within these Programmes are normally formative or summative. In the former assessment is designed to ensure students become aware of their strengths and weaknesses. Typically, such assessment will take the form of practical exercises where a more hands-on approach shows student’s ability on a range of activities. Traditional formal time-constrained assessment is by means of tests and examinations, normally of two-hour duration. Examinations are a traditional method of verifying that the work produced is the students’ own work. To help authenticate student coursework, some modules require that the student and lecturer negotiate the topic for assessment on an individual basis, allowing the lecturer to monitor progress. Some modules where the assessment is research-based require students to verbally/visually present the research results to the lecturer and peers, followed by a question and answer session. Such assessment strategies are in accord with the learning and teaching strategies employed by the team, that is, where the aim is to generate work that is mainly student-driven, individual, reflective and where appropriate, vocationally-orientated. Feedback to students will occur early in the study period and continue over the whole study session thereby allowing for greater value added to the student’s learning.
