Academic Staff ListWelcome to BSc (Hons) Architectural Science and Technology
The BSc (Hons) Architectural Science and Technology degree at Lincoln is designed to meet the requirements of accreditation by the Chartered Institute of Architectural Technologists. It reflects the global and interdisciplinary nature of the built environment professions.
To meet the global challenges of population growth, rapid urbanisation, and climate change, skilled professionals must produce effective construction and sustainable design solutions that endure over time.
Chartered Architectural Technologists are specialists in the science and technology of building design and construction. They form a strategic link between concept and construction, and ensure compliance with relevant legislation, such as building codes and regulations. Their technical skills are underpinned by knowledge in construction science, building technology, digital engineering, and architectural design.
On this course, students have the opportunity to develop their skills in our dedicated studio spaces with access to specialist equipment and advanced computer software.
The identity of the Lincoln School of Architecture and the Built Environment rests on the necessity to design and build tomorrow's buildings and cities that are socially, economically, and environmentally sustainable. Our courses and projects therefore address design and construction challenges in both national and international contexts.

How You Study
Underpinning this course is the commitment to produce graduates who have an appreciation of architectural design. It aims to provide a solid understanding of the science of buildings, including their assembly and environmental performance.
At the core of the programme is the composition and integrity of a structure or building, from design to how it performs through form, function, technology, and fabric. Themes include environmental science, construction technology, construction IT, and architectural design.
Students on this programme may learn from academic staff who are often engaged in world-leading or internationally excellent research or professional practice. Contact time can be in the studio, workshops, practical sessions, seminars, or lectures and may vary from module to module and from academic year to year. Tutorial sessions and project supervision can take the form of one-to-one engagement or small group sessions. Some modules offer the opportunity to take part in external visits and fieldwork.
This is an industry-guided course and the School has a Professional Advisory Board. It includes representatives from Lindum Group, Henry Boot Construction, Bowmer & Kirkland, and Longhurst Group among others.

Career Opportunities
As built environment professionals, Chartered Architectural Technologists typically work as private practitioners with their own firms or in architectural firms, as well as in large multi-disciplinary and multinational consulting practices. Graduates could be involved in tasks such as surveying sites, assessing environmental impacts, and analysing architectural plans to identify problems or potential risks.
Chartered Architectural Technologists have the skills to carry out several significant roles in the building design and procurement process. This includes project inception, project planning, construction design, project management, site management, and BIM management.
Architectural technologists play a significant role in the design, documentation, delivery, and management of buildings and related infrastructure. There is a growing demand for technical expertise in both emerging and developed economies around the world.
