About this course
BEng (Hons) in Structural Engineering with Architecture, a civil engineering and architecture degree focused on the built environment through combined structural and architectural principles. Core topics include Engineering Design and Critical & Analytical Thinking. This four-year programme is taught jointly with the Edinburgh School of Architecture and Landscape Architecture. The first year covers foundational concepts through engineering and architectural design tasks, fundamental mathematics, and architectural history. The second year progresses to structural mechanics, engineering materials, and soil and rock mechanics and engineering geology alongside land surveying and engineering construction. The third year examines the synergy of structure and architecture, conceptual design and sustainability, and transport systems engineering. The final year involves advanced courses in structural design and architecture, foundation engineering, engineering design, and learning from past failures.
