Structural Engineering with Architecture (SEA) is concerned with the planning, design, construction, sustainability, management, energy use, aesthetics and rehabilitation of the built environment. Fields of activity include architectural design, structures, foundations, building technology, urban space and form and architecture. Structural engineers require not only technical skills, but are also concerned with working in, and managing, multidisciplinary design teams. SEA is part of the Civil Engineering degree which is accredited by all of the Civil and Structural profession institutions in the EU. Lecturers lead high-quality research, which is reflected in their excellence in teaching.

All major building projects require input from structural engineers during both design and construction. These engineers complement the expertise of the architect and, with their broad knowledge of structures, materials and services, graduates from the Structural Engineering with Architecture degree course are ideally suited to this role. They may also expect to find employment in the expanding area of building management, maintenance and refurbishment. Our engineering graduates are also to be found in many other areas of employment where the skills and discipline of evaluating facts, decision making and management have provided them with the basis for rewarding and interesting careers. Studying for a MEng degree at Queen’s will assist you in developing the core skills and employment-related experiences that are valued by employers, professional organisations and academic institutions. Graduates from this degree at Queen’s are well regarded by many employers (local, national and international) and over half of all graduate jobs are now open to graduates of any discipline, including Civil Engineering. Although the majority of our graduates are interested in pursuing careers in Civil Engineering significant numbers develop careers in a wide range of other sectors. The following is a list of the major career sectors (and some starting salaries) that have attracted our graduates in recent years
