MEng Structural Engineering with Architecture
About this course
MEng in Structural Engineering with Architecture, an engineering degree combining the design of buildings and structures with architectural principles. Core topics include Programming, Statistics, Mathematical Modelling, Project Management, Accounting, Engineering Design, Communication & Writing, and Entrepreneurship. Students share a common first year with complementary pathway programmes before focusing on specialised areas. The first year covers foundational principles through Surveying and Measurement 1, Mathematics 1, Solids and Structures 1, and Construction Materials. The second year introduces Geotechnics 2, Structural Mechanics, Architectural Space and Form, and Project Management and Coding. Third-year studies advance through Architectural Technology 3(i), Project 3, Architectural Design Studies 3, and Structures 3. The final year concludes with advanced modules including Construction and Business Management, Bridge and Structural Eng, Durability, Repair and Holistic Management of Structures, and Geotechnics 4.
