There are also a number of academic units in architectural technology and the legal, contractual and management issues of architectural practice. A dissertation or research paper is required on a theme related to the course. Project themes are negotiated with your tutors. The first year consists of three terms of supervised practical training, followed by five terms of academic work in full-time attendance. Part-time study is completed over nine terms.
Attendance is on one day per week for up to nine hours.
The course is integrated with the full-time sandwich mode of study and there is the opportunity to change between modes if desired. Students will be expected in addition to complete approximately nine hours of private study each week. Assessment Projects are assessed through juries at their conclusion and written work through submissions and seminars. Assessments occur periodically during the course, and advice is given at the end of the first full-time year before progression to the final two terms. Similarly, on the part-time mode you must complete certain modules before progressing to the next phase.
