The Architectural Engineering degree is a multidisciplinary degree, encompassing Civil Engineering and Architecture. The degree programme will provide you with a multidisciplinary skill set to design building structures, bridges and critical infrastructure utilising not only the solid technical grounding that a typical civil/structural engineering degree provides but also a robust and wider appreciation of the architectural, societal, economic and environmental aspects associated to a particular design solution. Working across both disciplines, Architectural engineers apply engineering principles to the planning, design and construction of the built environment. Architectural engineers are responsible for the design of different systems within a building or aspect of critical infrastructure with a particular focus on key areas such as: creating innovative design strategies to improve our cities and infrastructure structural integrity to sustain earthquakes, fires, vibrations, wind loading, explosions and impacts modelling and design of heating, ventilation & air conditioning systems to make an environment hospitable for the user acoustic performance and lighting design sustainability and energy efficiency Architectural Engineering graduates are in great demand. Careers in Civil and Architectural Engineering offer the highest paid jobs for graduates in the UK (source: Telegraph 10 best paid jobs for graduates, Aug 2015). Career opportunities include; Structural Engineering Civil Engineering Bridge Engineering Geotechnical Engineering Façade Engineering Lighting Design Planning Pure Architecture Land Surveying Large Scale Development The BEng/MEng Degree in Architectural Engineering is accredited by the Joint Board of Moderators for the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE), Institution of Structural Engineers, Institute of Highway Engineers and The Chartered Institution of Highways and Transportation. It also satisfies the academic requirements for registration as a Chartered Engineer. The degree programme will be jointly delivered by both the School of Engineering and the School of Architecture (the first School of Architecture to be granted full accreditation from the Royal Institute of British Architecture (RIBA)).
