Why study Architectural Technology?
What are my career opportunities? This course responds to the rapidly developing technical environment of Architecture worldwide, developing strong analytical and research skills. It equips learners with a strong, flexible and adaptable skill set which is suited to a variety of careers in architectural private practices, industry, research, design and consulting teams or academia. Recognition by Professional Bodies This course is accredited by the Royal Institute of the Architects of Ireland (RAI), the Chartered Association of Building Engineers (CABE) and the Chartered Institute of Architectural Technologists (CIAT).
An Architectural Technologist is a highly skilled technical design professional. This Royal Institute of the Architects of Ireland accredited course delivers a practical, applied learning experience, encouraging a strong work ethic in all years. A studio environment is used to deliver the practical modules through the use of 2D & 3D modelling to arrive at sustainable design solutions.
Student learning is delivered through studio project work to develop the student’s ability to problem-solve. The projects increase in technical complexity as the course progresses through all years of the course, culminating in the research and analysis of the adaptation and upgrade of existing buildings in the final year.
