BEng (Hons) Architectural Design Engineering

• Build a strong foundation in architectural design through studio- and practice-based learning
• Develop applied knowledge of structures, materials, and environmental systems
• Experience working on complex briefs, including transport hubs, sports venues, and infrastructure projects
• Gain advanced skills in digital modelling, performance analysis, and technical communication
• Prepare for diverse built environment careers, with interdisciplinary collaboration alongside architecture students

What makes this course unique?

• Integrated Learning: Combines design, structure, and building performance in a collaborative, practice-based curriculum.
• Industry Engagement: Work on live briefs from industry and community, addressing the needs of evolving cities like London.
• Physical & Digital Tools: Use model-making, Revit (BIM), and IES (thermal modelling) to enhance industry readiness.
• Collaborative Learning: Attend lectures and seminars focused on designing public spaces, new buildings, and retrofitting existing ones.
• Design-Led Focus: Studios prioritise infrastructure briefs while teaching engineering principles.
• Progression to Part 2 Architecture: Keep the architectural path open while gaining engineering credibility for professional registration.
• Interdisciplinary Learning: Shared modules with Architecture, Interiors, and Urban Landscape.
• Built Environment Impact: Tackle real-world projects on transport, public spaces, sports, and cultural venues in London

Integrated Foundation Year (optional)
If you choose to add an Integrated Foundation Year on this course, you will be first introduced to the fundamental principles of architecture and built environments. A foundation year gives you the time, space and support to explore your strengths, build confidence and prepare for the demands of project-based, industry-focused learning.
