Year one
In year one, you will study fundamental engineering principles in topics such as structural mechanics, hydraulics, materials and mathematics. You will also focus on geology and civil engineering practice and will learn basic skills in surveying and IT. You will develop the skills and techniques required to plan and present your own solution to an architectural design brief.
Year two
The fundamental principles learnt in year one are applied to the analysis and design of steel and concrete structures, the prediction of the mechanical behaviour of soil and the mechanics of fluids. You will learn more about managing construction projects and surveying and develop an architectural design brief for a significant project.
BEng Civil Engineering with Architecture students have the option to transfer to the MEng course if their overall mark is 60 per cent or above at the end of year two.
Final year
You will study the analysis and design of typical geotechnical and hydraulic structures, numerical analysis techniques used in structural design and construction law, contracts and economics.
You will undertake an individual project with an architectural design component and provide architectural input to an intensive design project.
