    Bachelor's degree

  • Location

    Leeds

  • Duration

    4 Years

Leeds was the first university in the UK to offer architectural engineering degrees some 50 years ago. The Architectural Engineering course is truly interdisciplinary, designed to produce engineers who can design buildings by integrating the principles and practice of architecture, building physics and structural engineering.
You’ll work on a series of studio-based building design projects, many of which will be undertaken in our new studio spaces. Not only will you put into practice what you have learned in lectures, laboratory classes and tutorials, but you will also build scale models and develop graphical presentation and computer modelling skills using industry standard software.
As with all the School’s degrees, Architectural Engineering is accredited by the Joint Board of Moderators, which will help you to gain chartered engineer status after graduation.
You can choose to take either the four-year Integrated Masters (MEng, BEng) or the three-year Bachelor’s (BEng) degree on this course.

About this course

Architectural engineering graduates are in great demand from multi-disciplinary consultancies specialising in building design and contractors engaged in building construction and project management. Typically, the majority of graduates each year secure professional or managerial positions as graduate structural, civil or building services engineers, design engineers, architectural engineers or with architectural consultants.

A-level: AAA including Mathematics.
Where an A-Level Science subject is taken, we require a pass in the practical science element, alongside the achievement of the A-Level at the stated grade.
Excludes A-Levels General Studies and Critical Thinking.

Course programme

The course integrates creative and technical knowledge in architecture, structural and building services engineering, all delivered within one School. This is reinforced by our strong involvement with research and practice, with creative design issues being explored in practical, real world project settings.


All degree courses within the School share a common first year of six compulsory modules. These expose you to the range of programmes offered within the School and provide a firm basis on which to specialise in later years – as well as giving you the flexibility to switch between these courses.


In Year 2 you’ll consolidate your technical knowledge of structural design and analysis, materials, water engineering, geotechnics and building physics. You’ll also develop a more academic approach to architectural history & theory, which is delivered in collaboration with the School of Fine Art, History of Art & Cultural Studies. As with the first year, the design studio is the core through which you develop your learning in architectural engineering design projects.


You’ll enhance your engineering knowledge in structures, geotechnics, materials and building physics and demonstrate an integrated understanding of creative and technical building design in your design studio work. You’ll also select two additional modules from a list of options to help you to broaden your studies.



If you take the MEng, BEng course, your final year will be focused on the design studio. Your design projects will be linked to research-focused modules in architectural history & theory and building physics, and you’ll learn more about structures, geotechnics, and the context of the construction industry in management, practice and law.


In Semester 2, you’ll concentrate on a sophisticated architectural design project where significant parts of the brief, development and execution are largely set by you. Your project will demonstrate a fully integrated architectural design including structures and building services, to a high standard of visual communication skills.
