Architectural Technology Year 2 and Year 3 students have visited a construction site to see up-close the specifics behind construction methodologies.

The courses Architectural Technology, Interior Design and Product design are all part of 3D department in the Faculty of Arts, Science and Technology. Whilst each of our subject specialisms have distinct differences we strive to promote a collaborative studio culture sharing ideas and experiences. Our intimately sized studio groups are perfect for such collaborations and allow students to not only make friends with future graduates of other industries, but also to open their view horizons to potentials and development. This page is about the joined story of our student journey.
