MEng, BEng Architectural Engineering (International)

Overview

The course is designed to produce engineers who understand and can take part in the design of buildings from an architectural perspective, while at the same time having a firm grounding in civil and structural engineering.

Areas of study include architectural history and theory and building services as well as the core civil and structural engineering modules. Our graduates are in high demand from industry, especially from companies which are multi-disciplinary, and this includes many of the major consulting firms.

If you take the MEng route you can apply for exemption from part 1 of the ARB/RIBA qualifications and the success rate of this is over 80%.

The third year of the International MEng course is spent at a university in the USA, for example, Drexel University in Philadelphia.
