BEng (Hons) Architecture and Environmental Engineering

The Architecture and Environmental Engineering BA (Hons) course provided by the University of the West of England (UWE Bristol) is a full-time, 3 years long course that provides students with the tools and expertise to challenge conventional thinking and propose radical alternatives. The course combines elements of architecture, civil engineering, and environment to create a fusion of well-rounded knowledge that promotes sustainable design for emerging cities and built environments. It is a perfect fit if you’re interested in architecture or civil engineering, but want a broader range of study that focuses on both the macro- and micro-climate.Course Content: The course combines the elements of environmental engineering and architecture. During the course, you will develop skills in using technical design software and a serious understanding of the technical knowledge required in architecture and environmental engineering projects. As part of the curriculum, you will undertake studio-based design projects and other practical work that will enable you to apply the theoretical and technical knowledge you gain. Key Modules: The course covers a wide range of modules which includes Introduction to Architecture and Environmental Engineering, Design Principles: Architecture and Environmental Engineering, Structural Investigations, Architectural History and Theory, Cultural Context and Professional Practice, Environmental Services and Design, Construction Studies, Engineering Analysis, Structural Design: Architecture and Environmental Engineering, Environmental Design Methods, and Research Dissertation: Architecture and Environmental Engineering.Accreditations: The course is accredited by the Joint Board of Moderators (JBM) which comprises Institution of Civil Engineers, Institution of Structural Engineers, the Chartered Institution of Highways and Transportation and the Institute of Highway Engineers on behalf of the Engineering Council as fully satisfying the educational base for an Incorporated Engineer (IEng).Future Careers: Upon successful completion of the course, graduates may pursue their careers in a wide range of fields. They are equipped to work within consultancies, engineering firms, or local authorities. They may also follow a career path related to project management, environmental consulting, urban design and town planning, property development, and specialists within utility companies.
