Meng Structural Engineering and Architecture

The Structural Engineering and Architecture (MEng) course is jointly delivered by the University of Sheffield's Department of Civil and Structural Engineering and the School of Architecture. This unique program provides students with highly sought-after blend of technical and creative skills, combining the artistic principles of architecture with the scientific principles of engineering. Course Content: This is a full-time, four-year course that covers core topics in both civil engineering and architecture, including the design and construction of buildings and the infrastructure that supports them. The first two years of the program primarily focus on developing a solid foundation of both disciplines. Year three introduces more advanced topics including the theory and practice of seismic design. For the final year, students have the opportunity to specialize in a particular area of interest.Key Modules: Some of the core modules of this course include Structural Steel Design, Concrete and Earthquake Engineering, Public Health Engineering, and Town and Regional Planning. Supplemental modules offer deeper explorations of subjects like Timber Hollow Section Design, Building for Energy Efficiency, and Sustainable Landscape Management.Accreditations: The course is jointly accredited by the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE), the Institution of Structural Engineers (IStructE), the Chartered Institution of Highways and Transportation (CIHT), and the Institute of Highway Engineers (IHE). This accreditation means that with appropriate work experience, graduates can become chartered engineers.Future Careers: Graduates of the Structural Engineering and Architecture program often go on to pursue careers in architecture firms, engineering consultancy companies, and government bodies focused on urban development and infrastructure. Alumni have also found success in roles such as Building Services Engineer, Architectural Technologist, and Structural Engineer.For more information on this course, please visit the official course page.
