As the world's resources become scarce, there is a growing need to create buildings that are environmentally responsible. This calls for design professionals with the creative and analytical skills of both architects and engineers an unusual mix of skills that is highly sought after by employers. It is these future designers who will achieve design excellence, pursuing imaginative strategies for using resources efficiently. 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.With strong problem-solving skills, decision-making and analytical skills, you'll graduate ready to create a new generation of environmentally smart buildings. These attributes are sought after by employers and can be applied in a range of careers.
