About Architectural Design And Technology (accelerated Full-time) 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.

This accelerated pathway includes the same content as a traditional three-year undergraduate degree, but is taught over three trimesters rather than two semesters. This more intense mode of study means that you can complete your degree in a shorter period of time, so you can progress more quickly into work or further study.

If you're looking to fit study around your current role, you can also study this accelerated course via our day release pathway
