Architectural Design Technology Bachelor of Science (with Honours) - BSc (Hons)

The Architectural Design Technology course explores how buildings are designed and constructed to satisfy aesthetic, functional and environmental considerations in the creation of architecture. The course is both creative and technical in its content.

The course is fully accredited by the [Chartered Institute of Architectural Technologists (CIAT)](https://architecturaltechnology.com/) and you will be eligible for Associate Membership (ACIAT) on graduation. Graduates can progress to full Chartered Member status with appropriate technical experience.

Students:

* Develop an understanding of how architectural designs evolve from an initial conceptual idea through to the construction, use and eventual decommissioning of buildings

* Respond to project briefs that require original ideas for buildings based on local development sites 

* Consider implications of decision-making in terms of the structural form and material fabric of buildings, with a particular emphasis on environmental protection and being resilient to the effects of climate change

* Develop an identity as an architectural designer through the development and rationalisation of their own conceptual ideas.
