Course General Description

Combining the creativity of architecture with the rigour of engineering, the Architectural Engineer plays a key role in the production of an ever-more complex built environment. They maintain an overview of the whole building process, from concept to construction. Through an holistic and multidisciplinary approach they contextualise and solve multifaceted design problems. Architectural Engineers are the contemporary Master Builders who coordinate the disciplines of Architecture, Environmental Design and Structural Engineering, to deliver iconic, resilient and sustainable buildings. The BEng course can be studied with a placement year (4 years) or without (3 years). Completing a placement year successfully earns students an additional qualification. You will study environmental, structural, and architectural design in an interactive format. The traditional studies of building materials, mechanics of structures, building physics and environmental systems will be brought together with humanistic subjects and integrated through a series of design projects. These will be the common ground where the relevant disciplines come together to challenge and develop your skills as an Architectural Engineer.
