Architectural Technology BSc Honours

Why choose Architectural Technology BSc at Middlesex?

Our architectural technology degree will provide you the skills to enter a diverse range of roles in both the private and public sectors of construction.

Our architectural technology degree combines architecture, civil engineering, services engineering, environmental science and building information modelling to give you the insight, skills and experience to succeed in the most heavily demanded areas of construction.

Gaining first-hand experience in transforming conceptual designs and drawings into practical building projects, you’ll get to grips with the latest technologies, industry software and Building Information Modelling (BIM) techniques.

We’ll give you the flexibility to study over three years (full-time), four years (with a paid, year-long work placement), or six years (part-time). You’ll also be able to get a bursary worth up to 50% if you decide to continue your studies with our MSc BIMM course.

What you will gain

You’ll graduate with the skills to enter a diverse range of roles in both the private and public sectors of construction. Our graduates have gone on to become BIM managers, lead designers, information managers, project managers and consultants – and some have even set up their own architectural design practices.

You’ll learn new methodologies, develop your creativity, collaboration, problem-solving, and communication skills, and have the chance to work on real-life projects – in the UK and abroad – to gain a broad understanding of the full project management process.

What you will learn

You’ll get one-on-one support throughout your studies, and our series of guest lecturers also gives you access to some of the industry’s most influential professionals.

You’ll collaborate with us to put your new skills into practice through real-world construction and infrastructure projects. Our students previously led the way on our MDX Pavilion: a major project to create a sustainably-designed learning, event, community and well-being space on our campus.

You’ll also have the opportunity to build your professional portfolio by taking part in some of the industry’s most prestigious events and competitions – both in the UK and internationally. You’ll also get to showcase your work to industry professionals in our final year degree show.
