BEng(Hons) Architecture and Environmental Engineering (with Foundation Year) is a unique, award-winning course. This is one of five UWE Bristol courses that cover different specialisms in architecture.Ranked 4th nationally for student satisfaction in our architecture courses (The Guardian University League Tables 2018), we produce sought-after graduates with specialist knowledge and the skill to create exciting buildings.It can be difficult to know whether to pursue a degree in arts or sciences. This joint degree enables you to work towards professional status in both engineering and architecture, developing your cultural, artistic and technological interests in parallel.It’s in the overlap between function, aesthetics and physics that true inventiveness can flourish. Each way of thinking stimulates the others, giving you innovative solutions to problems.Explore architecture, passive design, environmental physics, environmental systems in buildings and the effective use of energy and materials. Develop your professional portfolio with a stream of practical design projects from real clients in the Bristol area. Go on site visits and residential field trips in the UK and overseas to make sure your design thinking is linked to the world beyond your studies.With a dual degree, you’ll be ready for a variety of careers in architecture, environmental engineering and sustainability consultancy. Opportunities are available in small private practices up to large multinationals like Foster & Partners, Arup and Atkins.
