Leeds was the first university in the UK to offer architectural engineering degrees and our success has grown over 50 years. Our programme is truly interdisciplinary, designed to produce engineers who understand and can participate in the design of buildings from an architectural perspective while having a firm grounding in civil and structural engineering. Spanning the disciplines of civil engineering and architecture, the programme offers a broad curriculum. After gaining a strong understanding across civil engineering in year one, you will maintain this breadth throughout your studies, with additional specialisation in aspects specific to the requirements of architectural engineers such as architectural history, architectural theory and building services. As with all the School’s degrees, Architectural Engineering is accredited by the Joint Board of Moderators, which will help you gain chartered engineer status after graduation.

Architectural engineering graduates are in great demand from companies that are multidisciplinary. Graduates have successfully secured positions such as design engineers, trainee architectural engineers, architectural consultants and graduate civil and structural engineers with organisations such as Arup, Adams Kara Taylor, Cornerstone Consulting, AMEC Design and Management, Mowlem Plc, Luckman and Clark, Whitby Bird and Parkin Group International.
