Integrated Foundation - Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Innovative Home Design and Construction

This Teesside University course develops and innovates new approaches to home design, fabrication and construction to inspire the next generation of home designers and innovators. It is ideal if students have an interest in design or STEM subjects.

Through a unique partnership with renowned and respected TV architect George Clarke, this course explores new models of home design, fabrication and construction. Students are guided through a detailed exploration of methods of construction, such as using off-site manufacture and prefabrication, alternative building materials, and building project locations. You have an opportunity to develop concept models and construct scale models of designs on campus.

George Clarke’s social enterprise, the Ministry of Building, Innovation and Education (MOBIE), is driving a fundamental change to the building industry and Teesside's courses have been designed to adhere closely to the modular building concept and advanced home construction principles of MOBIE. This pioneering course brings together design and engineering modules - students spend time drawing architectural plans, designing, model making, creating 3D prototypes and learning how this translates into large-scale manufacture. Students emerge as a uniquely qualified graduate equipped to disrupt the housing market and rethink manufacturing design.
