To meet the global challenges of population growth, rapid urbanisation, and climate change, skilled professionals must produce effective construction and sustainable design solutions that endure over time.

The BSc (Hons) Architectural Science and Technology degree at Lincoln is designed to meet the requirements of accreditation by the Chartered Institute of Architectural Technologists. It reflects the global and interdisciplinary nature of the built environment professions.

Chartered Architectural Technologists are specialists in the science and technology of building design and construction. They form a strategic link between concept and construction, and ensure compliance with relevant legislation, such as building codes and regulations. Their technical skills are underpinned by knowledge in construction science, building technology, digital engineering, and architectural design.

On this course, students have the opportunity to develop their skills in our dedicated studio spaces with access to specialist equipment and advanced computer software.

The identity of the Lincoln School of Architecture and the Built Environment rests on the necessity to design and build tomorrow's buildings and cities that are socially, economically, and environmentally sustainable. Our courses and projects therefore address design and construction challenges in both national and international contexts.

Placements

Throughout the programme there will be opportunities for students to undertake placements, providing industry insight and experience. Students are required to cover their travel, accommodation, and general living costs while undertaking a placement.

As built environment professionals, Chartered Architectural Technologists typically work as private practitioners with their own firms or in architectural firms, as well as in large multi-disciplinary and multinational consulting practices. Graduates could be involved in tasks such as surveying sites, assessing environmental impacts, and analysing architectural plans to identify problems or potential risks.

Chartered Architectural Technologists have the skills to carry out several significant roles in the building design and procurement process. This includes project inception, project planning, construction design, project management, site management, and BIM management.
