Course content

The built environment is undergoing radical change. Rapid urbanisation, the climate crisis, resource shortages, and economic pressures are challenges that are transforming how we design and build our world. Digital architecture and digital construction are unlocking answers to these problems by delivering smarter, faster, and more sustainable solutions, leading to an increasing demand for digital professionals in the industry.

This course will put you at the heart of that digital evolution. You’ll develop the critical insight and technical fluency needed to drive innovation and challenge orthodoxy. And you’ll sharpen your communication, decision-making, and problem-solving skills within construction and architecture contexts, empowering you as a future leader in these exciting and rewarding fields.

You’ll work in a collaborative studio environment, mirroring industry practice, balancing theory and practical work and using digital architecture tools to create more responsive, complex, and data-informed designs.

Key Features:

• Based in our Grade II* listed Gothic Revival Style Arkwright building, you'll work with our specialist facilities and design studios, including our Creative and Virtual Technologies lab. It's also the home of RIBA's East Midlands office.
• Our studio-based culture provides a dynamic and integrated learning environment that emphasises intellectual development and collaboration between students, academic staff and postgraduate researchers.
