This unique degree integrates creative and technical knowledge in architecture, structural and building services engineering.
Focusing on studio-based architectural design projects, you’ll gain a critical understanding of how science, the arts and society are brought together through creative building design projects. You’ll develop a scientific and creative approach to building design, supported by learning in architectural history & theory, urban design, structures, construction, materials and building physics.
You’ll build in-depth knowledge of architectural principles as well as applied science and technology, exploring creative design issues through drawings and models, developing presentation and computer modelling skills using industry-standard software.
This course is a four-year degree. If you choose to finish after three years, you will graduate with a BEng in Architectural Engineering.

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 and geotechnics, as well as 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 Year 1, the design studio is the core through which you develop your learning in architectural design projects.


You’ll focus more on the architectural design projects in Year 3 and work on urban design issues in your study of architectural history and theory, which is linked to your architecture design studio and a study visit to a European city. You’ll enhance your technical knowledge in structures and building physics, and demonstrate an integrated understanding of creative and technical building design in your design studio work.


In your final year you will focus on design studio work. Your architecture design projects will be linked to research-focused modules in architectural history & theory, building physics and the context of the construction industry in architectural 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 structure and building services, to a high standard of visual communication skills.
