Architectural Design And Technology in University of Salford

Architectural technologists specialise in the science and art of architecture. They apply high-level design skills and sophisticated technology to connect an architect’s concept to its final construction. If you’re fascinated by the technical side of architecture, our Chartered Institute of Architectural Technologists (CIAT) accredited degree course will guide you through the technical, constructional and environmental aspects of building creation.

Salford is a leading centre for architecture - in 2019 we're once again ranked in the World Top 100 universities for architecture and built environment study (QS 2019). Drawing on our strong industry connections, you’ll develop design awareness and a solid understanding of construction processes.You’ll manage design information, develop BIM and digital design skills and enhance your design portfolio, drawing on guest lectures and live briefs to present and interact with industry.

You’ll follow a three-year modular programme, based on industry skills and competencies. You’ll study architectural theory alongside practical design projects, delivered in a collaborative studio culture that reflects how contemporary architecture firms work. You can also enhance your future employability by including a placement year, where you can apply your learning to real-world projects.

This course is also available in a range of flexible study paths, including part-time, accelerated or day release. 

You will:

• Apply modelling and analysis to explore interactions between a building and its internal and external environments, and the relationships between shape, material, performance, load, and construction
• Explore the role of nature, people and technology in design, and the physical, legal, economic, social and environmental dimensions that impact on the building design process
• Develop critical awareness and detailed appreciation of architectural design, with the ability to design solutions for new and existing structures
• Acquire understanding of fabrication, contemporary construction and 3-D conceptions, developing competence in digital construction and BIM
• Build essential professional skills, including collaborative team working, critical analysis and problem solving
• Gain hands-on experience using built environment-focused equipment and software
