Overview
Architectural Technology BSc sits in a competitive part of the UK market, which works in your favour once you know which departments to aim at. It is a 3 years undergraduate degree, with the specialism widening as you move through the years.
Teaching in Architectural Technology draws on live project work wherever departments can arrange it. We currently work with 38 universities on this course across 27 cities.
The lowest English requirement we hold on this course is IELTS 6.0, and departments asking more than that usually expect a stronger academic record too. Tuition ranges from £18.000 to £37.000 a year depending on the department, which is a real difference over the length of the course.
The fastest way to narrow this down is to send us your grades and English score. We will come back with a shortlist rather than a brochure.
