Structural Engineering with Architecture MEng (Hons)

Structural engineering and architecture combine to shape the built environment that surrounds us, determining everything from design and construction, to material use and aesthetics. This programme will equip you with a highly valuable training in structural engineering combined with an appreciation of the architectural context. You will build on fundamental concepts of structural engineering, including the application of scientific knowledge and modern engineering tools, to the analysis, design, construction and maintenance of major forms of infrastructure. The programme draws on areas of particular expertise at Edinburgh including structural fire engineering, advanced geotechnical engineering and the use of modern construction materials. This interdisciplinary programme is taught jointly with the Edinburgh School of Architecture and Landscape Architecture (ESALA), part of Edinburgh College of Art. You will spend approximately half your time taking Architecture classes in Year 1. The architecture component continues in later years, but the time spent in these classes is reduced as the focus shifts to core structural engineering courses. **Ties to industry** We have strong industrial engagement via our Industrial Advisory Board and industrial input to teaching, including our design projects. There are opportunities for interaction with recent graduates working in industry, and we offer a close-knit, supportive community within which to develop your engineering skills. **Work experience and internships** You are encouraged to undertake relevant work experience during your degree. We work closely with the Careers Service to advertise internship opportunities and arrange company presentations. We support your development of graduate attributes through our Edinburgh Award for Civil and Environmental Engineering Industrial Placements, which is recognised on your academic transcript.
