The BA (Hons) Architectural Design and Technology at Southampton Solent University is designed for aspiring professionals eager to bridge the gap between creative architectural concepts and their practical, technological realisation. You will explore the fundamental principles of architectural design, construction technology, and materials science, understanding how these elements interact within social, environmental, and historical contexts. This undergraduate degree is ideal for those who possess a keen eye for detail, a passion for problem-solving, and a desire to shape the built environment through innovative and sustainable design solutions.
Studied full-time on campus over three years, your learning experience will involve a blend of theoretical study and practical application. You will develop skills in architectural communication, technical design, and Building Information Modelling (BIM), working on projects that simulate real-world challenges. In your final year, you will undertake a significant independent project, such as a Research Dissertation or Final Major Project, allowing you to delve deeply into a chosen area. You will graduate with a comprehensive understanding of professional practice and the technical expertise to pursue careers as architectural technologists, designers, or project managers.
