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 MEng will deepen and broaden your architectural competencies and environmental engineering skills through a major design project as well as taught topics. You will gain an understanding of methods for automating construction manufacturing as well as an in-depth understanding of the role of the building in its environment. Students on the Architectural Engineering BEng (Hons) degree may transfer to the MEng (Hons) degree at the end of Year 2, subject to satisfactory performance at the BEng level.
