My experience was just fine. I would say that the socities and outdoor activities are abundant but SU is way to expensive and has somewhat nasty staff.

Combining the principles of design and engineering to the evaluation of building designs, construction processes and building operational problems, you'll develop the knowledge and skills necessary for a successful career as an architectural engineer. Focusing on energy efficient buildings, you'll learn about building simulation, building information modelling, integration of renewable energy and building services design.
There is currently a global shortage of qualified architectural engineers. Architectural engineering graduates are in great demand because of the ever increasing importance placed on the design, construction and operation of sustainable buildings.

Course programme
In the first year you'll develop an understanding of the principles of low-rise domestic buildings, including building technologies, services, construction methods, and materials. As an architectural engineer, you'll also gain knowledge in building design, as well as the importance of building information modelling (BIM) to complete building projects successfully. You'll also work on an industry-led group project to design an energy efficient housing development.

In Year 2 you'll study in depth the principles of non-domestic buildings, including building technologies, services, construction methods, and materials. As an architectural engineer, you'll gain knowledge in topics such as design principles of low energy buildings (including form and services), building energy and environmental performance, and building simulation. You'll work on an industry-led group project to design and build, or retrofit, a complex high-rise building and also enjoy a fully paid European field trip.

FAPY602 Industry Placement
As an architectural engineer, you'll gain the specialist understanding of building control and commissioning. You'll develop in-depth knowledge in project management, team management, development management, risk management and procurement. You'll also work on an industry-led design and build project of a site development and produce a final year research dissertation in an architectural engineering subject of your choice.
