IntroductionAbout the Program
This course introduces design skills and technologies, combining humanities and sciences that influence the built environment, allowing you to acquire the necessary skills for architectural design and a wide range of careers. A study of historical precedent and environmental design are central to the design component of the course. In this programme, you will learn how to design a small building within the wider context of human settlements and environmental concerns. Later, as you deepen your knowledge, you will be given the opportunity to work on more complex design projects. By the time you graduate you will have: developed problem-solving skills in aesthetics, planning, building construction and building performance a broad grounding in design thinking an ability to analyse environmental issues vocational skills a thorough grasp of green building concepts and technical details In your first, or preliminary, year you will concentrate on developing your English proficiency to a high level. Students who can demonstrate a high level of competence in academic English can skip the first year to enter the degree programme proper, from year two. In your second year, you will undertake design projects with limited objectives, proceeding by stages to the design of a small building. In your third year, you learn how to design within the wider context of human settlements and environmental concerns. In your final year, you will have the opportunity to demonstrate your knowledge and flair through complex design projects. By the time you graduate, you will have developed problem-solving skills in aesthetics, planning, building construction and building performance. The curriculum of this course is the same as the BArch Architecture offered at The University of Nottingham in the UK. As the Architects Registration Board in the UK does not accredit architecture courses taught outside the UK, the course in Ningbo carries a different title. Please contact our undergraduate programme coordinator (ugengineering@nottingham.edu.cn) for more information about this degree course and the career pathways available to you.
