MEng Structural Engineering with Architectural Studies
ObjectivesThis is an engineering course with a substantial addition of architectural history, theory and design studio work. This course is designed to prepare you for working in the multi-disciplinary design teams increasingly found in the construction industry. We offer a comprehensive range of four-year MEng courses, and a three-year BEng course in Civil Engineering. The MEng degrees fulfil all the educational requirements to become a Chartered Engineer, whereas BEng students will need to complete a period of further learning, such as an approved MSc course or a programme of structured learning devised by an employer.
