BTech in Architectural Technology at Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University
The qualification aims to produce senior architectural technologists who will be competent to design at the intermediate level and with the aid of the latest electronic tools, perform and control the technical aspects of architectural practice at an advanced level.
While design forms an integral part of the course the focus remains on the practical/ technological aspects of architectural practice. This includes an emphasis on ‘green design’ and the particular needs of developmental communities.
Students who have completed this course may register for the MTech: Architectural Technology programme or may register for the 3rd year of the BAS programme in order to gain entry into the MArch (Prof) programme.
