The Master of Engineering (Honours) - Architectural Engineering (Placement Year) is a design-led course grounded in the prestigious School of Architectural, Building and Civil Engineering. The course develops students' understanding of the principles of engineering, which they can then apply to architectural design projects.
Combining the creativity of architecture with the rigour of engineering, the Architectural Engineer plays a key role in the production of a sustainable built environment. Architectural Engineers oversee the whole building process, from concept to construction. Architectural Engineers combine architecture, environmental design and structural engineering to deliver iconic, resilient and sustainable buildings.
Students will study environmental, structural, and architectural design in an interactive format. The traditional studies of building materials, mechanics of structures, building physics and environmental systems will be brought together with humanistic subjects through a series of integrated design projects. These will be the common ground where the relevant disciplines come together to challenge and develop their skills as an Architectural Engineer.
