ABOUT
Overview
Our new Architectural Technology degree brings together all aspects of the design process, from concept through to completion, to develop the key skills you’ll need for a career in this exciting and fast-growing sector.
Learning will be centred around our dedicated design studios where you will work on authentic design projects, developing a sound understanding of the processes of design and construction primarily through Revit, BIM, virtual reality, architecture in a global context, project management, procurement and construction contract.
You will gain an understanding of the multidisciplinary and collaborative nature of the modern construction industry, and the management of projects using cutting-edge technologies.

The programme is delivered using an enquiry-based learning approach involving workshops, lectures, tutorials and independent study. We assess your learning through a variety of methods including project work, essays and exams.

At Bradford you’ll benefit from:
- Industry experienced tutors – our tutors have extensive track records of project design and delivery
- Outstanding lab and studio facilities
