MEng Structural Engineering and Architecture (Accredited CEng Full) HK21

Our four year undergraduate masters programme is unique in providing graduates with a single degree suitable as a common first step in the professional training for a career in either structural engineering or architecture. Accreditation by the Royal Institute of British Architects and the Institutions of Civil and Structural Engineers means the course provides sufficient Architecture content to meet the Part I requirements for becoming a Registered Architect and also the MEng requirements to progress to Chartered Engineer without further educational qualifications.

The dual course combines the essentials of an architecture course and a structural engineering course principally aimed at buildings and structures. Each year is a mix of architectural and engineering subjects. The course allows the parallel development of architectural and engineering skills in an integrated manner. The balance between the disciplines varies from year to year with studio work providing a focus for integrating the two.

You will spend a considerable amount of time working in the studio on project work alongside mainstream architecture students. You will be allocated a space and drawing board in the studio with the aim of integrating as much as possible with architecture students. The key to the success of the course is that you are completely immersed in the culture of each discipline. You are taught engineering by engineers alongside fellow engineering students and architecture by architects with architecture students.

Students on this course have been successful in a number of national competitions, winning prizes, for example in the prestigious Oasys awards.

This degree is accredited as fully satisfying the educational base for a Chartered Engineer (CEng).
