Course summary


Overview and aims of the Programme

Architectural engineers plan, design, build and maintain the buildings that shape our day-to-day existence with a focus on structural engineering, architectural design and building services.This accredited course provides the knowledge, skills and hands-on experience you need to become a work-ready architectural engineer. Through laboratory sessions, field trips, individual projects and design classes, you will embed the knowledge gained from your lectures and tutorials and develop your practical abilities in surveying and design. You will choose from a range of authentic, real-world engineering problems and industry-focused scenarios, to work on both individually and with student engineers from other disciplines. Group work mirrors the relationships of an engineering team and will help you to build professional skills, such as teamwork and communication. Our open access makerspace provides a place for you to design, create and collaborate.The MEng degree programme allows you to expand and strengthen your knowledge in architectural engineering, and you will benefit from advanced learning in design and management as well as a multidisciplinary engineering design project.
