Civil Engineering and Architecture, MEng (Hons)

This course integrates civil engineering and architecture to address sustainable urban development, ideal for those pursuing structural engineering careers. Students specialize in architectural and urban design, alongside structural and geomechanical engineering, while building essential design and manufacturing skills. The first two years establish a foundation in core engineering science and civil engineering principles, introducing design techniques through workshops and projects. In the third year, focus shifts to urban design, structures, and geotechnics, while the fourth year applies architectural concepts via design projects and explores project economics and management.Key modules span years one to four, covering topics like engineering design, structural analysis, soil mechanics, and advanced projects. Assessment combines written exams with coursework, including reports, essays, and presentations. The program is accredited by professional bodies such as the Institution of Civil Engineers and the Institution of Structural Engineers, ensuring industry recognition.
