About the programme
- Architectural Technology and Construction Management
With a Bachelor Degree in Architectural Technology and Construction Management, you will be qualified to plan, manage and handle technical and administrative work in project design and execution within the construction industry.
The programme is of 3 years’ and 6 months’ duration. On the 6th semester you will go on a 20 week internship.
Building Technology
You can also end the programme after two years and earn an AP degree in Building Technology. With an AP Degree in Building Technology, you will be qualified to collaborate with others in plan-ning and handling technical administrative assignments within building and construction and indu-strially prefabricated modules.
The Building Technology programme will allow you to continue on the Bachelor Degree programme in Architectural Technology and Construction Management where you will be able to transfer your credits for the first 3 semesters.
The Building Technology programme is of 2 years’ duration and the first 3 semesters are shared with the Bachelor Degree in Architectural Technology and Construction Management programme. On the 4th semester you will go on a 10 week internship.
Analytic approach
The pivot of the Architectural Technology and Construction Management programme is our ana-lytic approach to construction issues. Students on the Architectural Technology and Construction Management programme are part of a problem-based learning environment where lessons focus on two things: professional skills and the process. We work on understanding the issues, causes and consequences that can arise when designing a building.
Working methodThrough problem-based thinking you will be introduced to a working method where:

Innovation
On the Architectural Technology and Construction Management programme, we are determined to give students competencies in creativity and innovation because we believe that the labour mar-ket of the future will require creative and innovative “agents of change”.
Teaching takes its starting point in the principles behind “The Creative Platform” of Aalborg Univer-sity but is naturally aimed at the goals and visions of the Architectural Technology and Construc-tion Management programme. This means that students will be met with specific methodologies and tools aiming to make creativity and innovation a way of thinking and working.
We must dare to make mistakes, we must dare to seek new solutions and we must dare be in the midst of a creative process. Teaching innovation is considered a natural part of day-to-day teach-ing since creativity often arises from analytic and reflective understanding of problem areas. That is why you will meet new methodologies and working methods that aim to eliminate habitual thinking and promote horizontal thinking.
Through a curious and open approach to the construction industry, we challenge prevailing norms in an attempt to achieve new solutions to streamline and improve e.g. construction processes or products. In this way, innovation lessons are anchored in the professionalism that is trained in connection with project work.
“I started on the Architectural Technology and Construction Management programme in Aalborg after completing my higher secondary education and I haven’t looked back. Quite the contrary. At first glance, you‘d think that the Architectural Technology and Construction Management programme is only for craftsmen, but I don’t think that’s the case. I see the combination of skilled manual workers and students from higher secondary educations as an advantage because the two groups possess different competencies and qualities. Project and group work mean that the differences in knowledge are beneficial and different competencies are exploited." Simon Andreas Arnbjerg, 4th semester.
