Good but ready to get a job to pay the big debts. Enjoyed my time in halls and private houses but it was expensive at times. The social life has been good by joining societies. Placement increased employability.

This Architectural Technology course runs in 2016/17.
As an architectural technologist your work is interesting and varied, primarily concerned with the design and technical performance of buildings. We prepare you for this by providing a practical environment in which to study.
This course aims to develop your skills to become a successful Architectural Technologist by undertaking multi-disciplinary integrated projects which will run throughout your course. This helps prepare you for your future as a specialist in building design and construction.
If you choose this course you will benefit from:
- a course which is accredited by the Chartered Institute of Architectural Technologists (CIAT) and the Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB) at the time of going to press;
- the opportunity to undertake placements with employers to gain practical experience in the construction industry;
- the opportunity to take part in events where you will meet members of the local design and building community, and attend Professional Development meetings held by the professional institutions on campus;
- studios and laboratories equipped with the latest versions of CAD software including 2D, 3D and visualisation software, Building Information Management software and building performance analysis programs;
- studying with a wide range of other professional disciplines in an integrated School of Energy, Construction & Environment which reflects the modern interdisciplinary nature of construction projects.

WHAT WILL I LEARN?
On this Architectural Technology course you will learn the fundamental topics which are important to all professions: technical knowledge and understanding, communication, problem solving and personal development.
The course will pay particular attention to the architectural design process, the cultural and economic environment in which development takes place, building performance analysis and the construction technologies available to achieve sustainable building solutions. You will also be given grounding in the drawing and modelling of architectural forms, and the research techniques to assess materials and components.
HOW WILL THIS COURSE BE TAUGHT?You will find that your timetable has a range of learning opportunities, from lectures, seminars and tutorials to laboratories, workshops and studio sessions. You will also spend a large amount of time working with other students to apply your skills to relevant engineering and design problems.
You will work with staff on real-world problems from industry, commerce and research groups, as you would in professional practice; this means that you can develop all of the professional skills at the same time as you learn the technical content of your degree.
