BSc (Hons) Architectural Design & Technology

... United Kingdom
... Cardiff Metropolitan University

Course Overview

Whilst your learning is designed to develop you into a rounded and capable architectural technologist, your curriculum is similarly structured with your potential in mind.

As such, the emphasis that will have been placed upon your work ethic, both creatively and academically, is matched with a significant focus on real-world experience; from building contacts and undertaking placements to live briefs and, should you choose so, support in forming your own business.

Throughout your time at CSAD, you will be meeting and hearing from professionals within your industry, honing your skills and ideas for commercial and professional advantage. Cross-disciplinary projects will prepare you for teamwork later on, whilst live briefs will prepare you for deadlines and the demands of tight specifications.

Graduates from the programme are well placed to join architectural practices, working as architectural technologists. You are encouraged to continue your professional development by gaining chartered membership in the Chartered Institute of Architectural Technologists and/or Chartered Association of Building Engineers.
