Course summary

Integrate structural, architectural and environmental principles to advance the creative and sustainable design of our built environment. Our course is for creative engineers who want to develop a holistic approach to designing buildings and structures. With us, you'll learn how to use your imagination, ingenuity and communication skills to create responsible solutions for engineering challenges. In your first two years, you'll learn the foundations of materials, geotechnics, structures and digital design. Once you have developed your fundamental engineering design skills, you'll then explore aspects of sustainable building and structural design in later years. Our courses draw on the strengths of a joint department with architecture, offering you a different experience from most universities. You’ll work with architecture students on some projects to prepare you for the professional relationships you'll experience in your career. At Bath, you'll experience studio-based projects and gain insight from industrial guest lecturers, preparing you to tackle the range of structural engineering projects you will take on in your career.
