ABOUT THE COURSE
Are you looking to build on your existing experience and earn an internationally recognised higher education qualification? Solent’s HNC Architectural Technology programme offers learners a varied curriculum based on three key themes: architectural design, architectural technology and professional practice. Graduates will have an improved understanding of the architectural process and be better prepared to take on more advanced roles in the architectural technology sector.
Highly regarded by local employers, this regularly revised programme helps students to develop a sound understanding of the design and detailing required to complete major construction projects. Students also learn fundamental design principles, health and safety requirements and critical thinking skills.
The industry-focused curriculum encourages students to develop practical skills. Our professional facilities include two construction-specific laboratories, computer-aided design (CAD) stations, Revit, Vector Works, Adobe Illustrator, Google SketchUp Pro, 3D printers and large format printer scanners. By using these resources, Solent students can develop the specific skills required by the architectural technology industry – as well as a range of transferable skills that are applicable in other industries.
Students also have the opportunity to work in our built environment studio centre. This modern space was developed to mirror the atmosphere of a working professional studio, bringing students together from various built environment courses to collaborate on multidisciplinary projects just as they would in the workplace.
The dedicated studio is based on the kind of environment that students will experience in the workplace. It is fully equipped with the latest in computer-aided design tools and equipment including Mac and PC CAD stations, Revit, Vector Works, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, Google SketchUp Pro, plotters, large format scanners and digital cameras.
Most importantly, it is an area where students and tutors can work together on projects in a professional but relaxed and friendly environment.
We provide a stimulating learning environment and access to state-of-the-art resources to help you make the most of your time with us. Flexible spaces, Wi-Fi facilities and learning zones all contribute to our lively and contemporary study environment at Solent.

My name is Kavisha Prince Anthony, and I always had a dream of studying abroad. Thankfully, that dream came to life since I applied to the Study Advisor. I was able to receive my visa within four days. I also had some visa refusals in the past; I had about six UK visa refusals in the past, but thankfully, it was not an issue since the Study Advisor was able to make things work this time. I highly recommend Study Advisor for your dreams of going abroad, whether it be the UK or any other European country there is.
