BSc (Hons) Architectural Engineering

Delivered full-time over three years, you will study a carefully-designed suite of modules which blend architecture and engineering disciplines. As you learn about structural principles, you will explore architecture theory, developing design awareness and an understanding of integral systems.

Our range of modules will introduce you to the architectural design processes in year one, and you’ll begin to use sophisticated software to develop your design skills and learn how to manage design information by year two. In your final year, you’ll continue to develop a design portfolio and complete a final project of your choice where you can present to industry experts.
