Our course draws on the strengths of a joint Department of Architecture & Civil Engineering, offering you a different experience from most universities. You’ll work with architecture students to embed the professional and interdisciplinary team relationships that will form the basis of your career. In your first two years, you’ll learn fundamental skills in creative engineering design, analysis and communication. You’ll develop a detailed understanding of mechanics, materials, environmental, geotechnical and structural engineering theory and practice. In your final years, you’ll learn to meet design requirements including human comfort, stability, energy, carbon footprint and buildability. You’ll take advanced taught units on this MEng, meeting the full educational requirements you need to become a Chartered Engineer. You can move between our civil and civil and architectural engineering courses, as well as decide whether you want to go on placement, up to the end of your second year.
