This program is designed for graduates in architecture, architectural technology, engineering or related disciplines, who want to become part of the growing international move towards innovative and high-performance timber building.
The multi-disciplinary program will equip students to work as a design professional within the timber sector – one of the fastest growing parts of the building industry in many countries.
Employers in the UK timber-building sector are facing severe skills shortages and similar gaps exist in many countries overseas. These employers are looking for graduates with a combination of technical knowhow and commercial awareness in the design, manufacture and assembly of timber buildings and structural systems.
