Structural Engineering with Architecture - MEng (Hons)

The University of Edinburgh

Civil engineers solve complex problems and are skilled at working in interdisciplinary teams to tackle society's challenges. Architects are visionaries who conceive and plan our constructed world. Structural engineering and architecture combine to shape the built environment that surrounds us. This interdisciplinary programme is taught jointly with the Edinburgh School of Architecture and Landscape Architecture (ESALA), which is part of the Edinburgh College of Art. It will equip you with highly valuable training in structural engineering and give you a deep appreciation of the architectural context. It will prepare you for a holistic approach to sustainable building design and professional licensure. You will build on fundamental concepts of structural engineering and learn how to apply scientific knowledge and modern engineering tools to design, analyse, construct and maintain all major forms of infrastructure. This programme draws on our areas of expertise in structural engineering and architecture: * the use of novel and sustainable building materials * architectural and engineering design methods * the impact of construction on its users, the community, and the environment

Based on our compulsory course material, this degree aligns with many of the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the top three being: * SDG 6: Clean Water and Sanitation * SDG 9: Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure * SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities

We have strong industrial engagement through our Industrial Advisory Board and industrial input to our teaching, including our design projects. You will also have opportunities to interact with recent graduates who are now working in industry.

* An enviable suite of facilities, including specialist laboratories, a student makerspace and cutting-edge industry-standard equipment. * Opportunities to interact with recent graduates who are now working in industry. * Research-led teaching by leaders in their engineering fields whose knowledge is actively sought out by industry and government internationally. * Our unique programmes give you a broad and detailed understanding of civil and environmental engineering, setting you up to work in any field you choose after graduation. * You will benefit from field trips, design-led and team-oriented teaching approaches, and strong engagement with industry which informs our teaching. * Learn in one of the UK's leading architectural schools to combine your engineering skills with a deep appreciation of the architectural process.
