BSc (Hons) Architectural Engineering

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.

In your third year you'll have the opportunity to undertake an optional year of professional paid training in an approved placement with a suitable company in the UK or abroad. During your industry placement you'll be working under the guidance and supervision of one of the members of the project management or design team, which will allow you to gain relevant industrial experience to consolidate the first two years of study and to prepare for the final year of your degree and employment after graduation.

• 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.
