Architectural technologists are specialists in the technological decisions necessary to solve design problems. They need a sound understanding of the processes of design, construction technology and the management tools for the communication of design information. The skills they require are wide ranging, from design appreciation, technical analysis and presentation, to management skills. This studio-based programme consists of modules that are primarily assessed through technical project work, coursework and assignments. Real world projects and the integration of Industry Placement will also form a significant part of the assessment process.
