- Building Physics and Services
- Investigating Structures
- Technical Studio 1
- Studio 1
Year 2
Design integration, practice and application
Building on the principles of year one in both design and technology, the application of all aspects of design are practised and applied to a range of building problems.
- IT for Designers
- History of Architecture
- Technology and Design Studio 2

*Optional placement year
All students are encouraged to spend their third year on placement. Students who undertake a placement year will complete an industrial placement module.
Final year
Analysis, synthesis and scholarly judgement
Final year students are expected to apply the whole range of their knowledge to large scale building projects, producing both detailed appraisal and 'new build' design solutions. This will involve conceptual design, consideration of production techniques and constraints, developing solutions using computer models, producing working drawings and documentation, and client advice on long-term sustainability issues.
- Energy Management and Performance Evaluation
- Building Pathology
- Technology and Design Studio 3
- Collaborative Practices in Building Information Management and Modelling
Plus one of the following modules:
- Collaborative Practice (TB2)
- Industrial Placement (for those who completed a placement year)
