Program Overview

Structural Engineering with Architecture

Overview

Structural Engineering with Architecture is concerned with the planning, design, construction, sustainability, management, energy use, aesthetics, and rehabilitation of the built environment. Fields of activity include architectural design, structures, foundations, building technology, urban space and form, and architecture. Structural engineers require not only technical skills but are also concerned with working in and managing multidisciplinary design teams.

Course Highlights

• Professional Accreditations: Civil Engineering at Queens is an Academic Partner of the Institution of Civil Engineers and has one of the highest graduate employment rates in the Russell Group of Universities.
• Career Development: All of our Structural and Civil Engineering degrees come with the option of a placement year in industry.
• Internationally Renowned Experts: Queen’s is a leader in structural and civil engineering research, and our exceptional teaching is informed by the latest research into global challenges.

Course Structure

• Stage 1: Students study the fundamentals of civil engineering theory and practice.
• Stage 2: The major knowledge of civil engineering subjects, concentrating on structural analysis, and their application within design are developed.
• Stage 3: Theory is now applied in a professional context. Students are introduced to building architecture and technologies as well as management.
• Stage 4: The MEng is an 'Integrated Masters' degree, meaning Stage 4 is set at Masters level. Students develop increased knowledge of structural design related to architecture and business management.

Careers

• All major building projects require input from Structural Engineers during both their design and construction phases.
• Graduates can choose from a range of rewarding and challenging careers in structural and civil engineering.
• Our engineering graduates are also to be found in many other areas of employment where their wide range of transferable skills and discipline of evaluating facts, decision-making, and management have provided them with the basis for rewarding and interesting careers.

How to Apply

• Application for admission to full-time undergraduate and sandwich courses at the University should normally be made through the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS).
• The advisory closing date for the receipt of applications for entry in 2025 is still to be confirmed by UCAS but is normally in late January (18:00).
