Do you enjoy using CAD programmes? Are you a school leaver who enjoyed Graphical Communications or other design units? Are you interested in how buildings are constructed? Do you enjoy working creatively or on more technical projects?

The HNC Computer Aided Architectural Design and Technology course offers a unique approach to architectural studies – focusing on the use of CAD and other digital technologies in construction with an emphasis on the role of the Architectural Technologist (AT). By teaching students the skills that the construction industry is seeking now and in the near future, we have continually placed the majority of our graduating students into employment as an AT. Our second year students are highly sought after by our industry contacts, with 83% of last year’s students obtaining employment as an AT as a direct result of studying this course with the remainder progressing to 3rd year at university to complete their degree. The top students from each year have a guaranteed paid internship with a leading Architectural practice over the summer months.
