A joint honours degree is the perfect choice for you if you want to study more than one subject. You can combine this course with one or two other joint honours courses that are offered at our Derby Campus to create your own joint honours degree. Most students combine Architectural Design with Property Development. You'll develop creative and technical architectural skills and an awareness of traditional and contemporary architectural design. The course is practical and largely studio-based. You'll learn about traditional design alongside the application of the latest digital technology, including CAD (Computer Aided Design), virtual reality and multimedia.

There's a real design and technical emphasis to this course, which will help you get into a professional architectural career. In particular, you'll develop digital skills, which are highly appropriate to the contemporary architectural workplace. If you combine this subject with Property Development you could start your own business or work in the practical side of property planning and designing. You can also study further to achieve membership of the Chartered Institute of Architectural Technologists.
