Architectural Engineering, MEng (Hons), with industry placement

This design-led course, based in the prestigious School of Architectural, Building and Civil Engineering, builds your understanding of engineering principles for application in architectural design projects. Architectural Engineers blend architecture's creativity with engineering's rigor to oversee sustainable building processes from concept to construction, integrating environmental design and structural engineering for resilient structures. Studies in environmental, structural, and architectural design occur interactively, merging building materials, mechanics, physics, and systems with humanistic subjects via integrated projects. Industrial insights come from site visits, field trips (with MEng students enjoying European study trips), and contributions by leading practitioners and guest speakers.The MEng deepens architectural and environmental engineering skills through a major design project, automation methods, and building-environment interactions. The shorter BEng focuses on engineering fundamentals and architectural design, suiting early industry entry or MSc specialization; BEng students may transfer to MEng after year two with satisfactory performance.
