Program Overview

Course overview

Architectural Engineering is for students who wish to work at the intersection of architecture and structural engineering. At the end of your degree, you will be able to apply engineering principles to the planning, design and construction of the built environment.

Introduction

The Architectural Engineering degree is a multidisciplinary degree, encompassing civil engineering and architecture jointly delivered by the School of Engineering and the School of Architecture.

The MEng is a four year integrated Master’s degree developed to fast-track our graduates to become Chartered Engineers with the Institution of Civil Engineers, Institution of Structural Engineers, Institution of Highways Engineers and the Chartered Institution of Highways & Transportation.

Architectural engineers are responsible for the design of different systems within a building or an aspect of critical infrastructure with a particular focus on key areas.

As a student, you will be provided with a multidisciplinary skill set to design building structures, bridges and critical infrastructure incorporating both the solid technical grounding that a typical civil/structural engineering degree provides; alongside a robust and wider appreciation of the architectural, societal, economic and environmental aspects associated to a particular design solution.

What you'll learn

Accreditation

The MEng programme is accredited by the Joint Board of Moderators, which represents the four major civil engineering institutions and accredits civil engineering programmes on behalf of the Engineering Council, which sets and maintains the standards for the engineering profession in the UK. The MEng degree is also recognised throughout the UK and satisfies the Engineering Council’s academic requirements for registration as a Chartered Engineer.
