Behind every grand design is great technique. In our increasingly digital-driven built environment, a degree in Architectural Design and Technology is a route to a rewarding career making those amazing design concepts a reality. By applying high-level design skills and sophisticated applications, architectural technologists carry a concept through to its final design. So, if you’re fascinated by the technical side of architecture, our Chartered Institute of Architectural Technologists (CIAT) accredited course will lead you through the technical, operational and environmental details of building creation.

Drawing on our strong industry connections and competencies, you’ll appreciate architectural theory as you complete practical design projects, delivered in a collaborative studio culture that reflects contemporary architecture practice and workplaces. As you build BIM and CAD design skills, work on live briefs and learn to manage design information, you’ll realise the value of robust design in transforming our built environment.

By successfully completing an Architectural Design and Technology degree, you'll graduate with diverse and rewarding career opportunities ahead of you. Architectural technologists, and software management skills they possess, are highly-sought by industry, both in the UK and overseas.  

As an architectural design and technology graduate, you'll be well-placed to apply for graduate design-based roles. Salford's architecture alumni have progressed to work with regional and international design firms, government organisations and consultancy practices.
