Our T-Level in Architectural Design and Surveying has been developed in collaboration with employers, professional bodies, universities and businesses so the content meets the needs of the industry and will prepare you for the workplace.
You will develop a strong set of transferable core skills that will equip you for a career in the construction sector or to go on to do a higher-level apprenticeship or degree.
You’ll explore the science behind building design by looking at different construction methods, design principles and processes and surveying and planning.
You’ll also study the construction industry and its role in the economy as well as the importance of sustainability, environmental impact and corporate social responsibility.
As new technology emerges, the construction sector is continuously evolving and you’ll gain an understanding of digital engineering techniques and the impact of the Internet of Things (IoT).
Using mathematical techniques you’ll solve construction problem and make accurate and appropriate measurements.
You’ll be taught key principles for working in the industry including project management, budgeting and resource allocation, procurement, and risk management.
As well as studying essential topics such as health and safety, building regulations and standards, relationship management and customer service
As the course is a T Level, you’ll also undertake 315 hours of work placement putting into practice what you’ve learnt in the classroom.
Working with some of the region’s key employers, you’ll get a taste of what it’s like to work in both office based construction design and planning environments as well as on a construction site.
The T Level is a full-time two-year programme.
Core components will be assessed through two externally set exams and an employer set project.
There'll also be a skills-related project which you'll be assessed on.
UCAS tariff points will be allocated and will be equivalent in value to three A Levels.
This will be dependent on the overall grade achieved.
5 GCSEs at 5 or above, ideally including English, Maths and Science.
You will also need to be able to commit to an industry placement of at least 45 days and it would be beneficial to do some research into possible employers who could be willing to provide you with an industry placement for the programme.
You could progress to a university level course or apprenticeship in a relevant industry area.
Alterantively you could secure one of the following roles in the construction sector:
- Surveying Technician
- Civil Engineering Design Technician
- Construction Design Coordinator
- Civil Engineering Technician
