About your courseThe BSc (Hons) Architectural Technology programme is all about creating and understanding design, and turning ideas into reality.The course could be the start of your career as an Architectural Technologist. The course is structured to enable you to develop specialist knowledge in building design, project preparation, construction technology, performance of buildings, contracts and professional practice. You will be given the opportunity to develop expertise in the preparation of architectural drawings using both manual drawing techniques and Computer Aided Design packages, including Revit. You will be given realistic technical design projects that enable you to develop your skills with projects becoming increasingly challenging and varied as you progress through the course.Architectural Technologists lead the technological design of a project; forming the link between concept, innovation and realisation. They specialise in design, underpinned by building science, engineering and technology applied to architecture within projects, playing a pivotal role in project and design management. They need specialist knowledge of building design, construction technology, sustainable technology, planning control, building regulations and professional practice. They apply their skills within research, academia, manufacturing and processing industries, housing, health and government agencies and work collaboratively with other professionals in the built environment sector. This course will provide an understanding of all these aspects and will enable you to apply this knowledge to relevant design projects at all levels.The programme provides an introduction to Building Information Modelling (BIM) allowing architectural technology students to work on industry standard software in a multi-disciplinary environment.Links with industry mean that you will have opportunities to meet architectural technologists and other professionals working in the construction industry through guest lectures and site visits. There are opportunities to undertake a placement year in the sector where you can apply what you have learnt at LJMU out in the workplace before returning to University to complete the course. There are also opportunities to study at an approved overseas partner college that will complement your programme at LJMU.
Additional course costsThere are no travel costs for day site visits. Optional residential study visits in the UK and abroad will have costs involved.
