If you are thinking about studying architecture and have an interest in environmental design, our four-year course will give you the specialist knowledge and skills needed to design environmental systems for buildings.
Based on University Park, you will have access to excellent facilities to support your studies and research. These include dedicated studio spaces, workshops and research labs equipped with the latest renewable energy technologies. You will be part of a vibrant studio culture where students from different courses mix within studio units.
You will have the opportunity to submit your work to international competitions such as CIBSE Young Engineer Award and the Royal Academy British Institution Award for Students’ Work.
When you graduate, you will have the expertise to confidently develop high-quality architecture that shows a comprehensive understanding of climate and the need to keep building occupants comfortable.
If you want to become an architect, the MEng course is followed by one year's supervised professional experience before embarking on the two-year MArch Architecture (ARB/RIBA Part II and one further year's professional experience culminating in a Part Three exam.
This course is accredited by the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) and the Architects Registration Board (ARB) and is exempt from the Part One professional exam.
Course Details - Modules
In year one you will develop key design skills and techniques as well as looking at fundamental ideas and concepts relating to environmental design, construction, structural design, and architectural theory. You will also learn important mathematical tools that support the design of environmentally responsible building systems. The second year explores the concepts behind the active and passive systems used to provide healthy, comfortable conditions for building occupants and includes modules such as: electricity and the built environment, tectonics, architectural humanities and environmental sciences. In year three you will progress to advanced environmental design techniques and complete a major studio project, designing a complex building. Your fourth year will develop your ability to tackle complex building briefs and your independent research skills.
