      * The professional context: architectural design, the client, the legal and planning framework, management issues and the communication of design decisions
      * The industrial/manufacturing context: design, performance, manufacture and production of components
      * The industrial/construction context: new build construction and site assembly, including an overview of the whole building design, and refurbishment/renovation, including building performance.
  
  Part-time study involves attendance on one day per week during the academic year. Sandwich students undertake placements in a wide range of professional and construction companies in the third year of their course.
