Structural Engineering and Architecture Meng (Hon)

**This dual course combines the essentials of an architecture course and a structural engineering course, principally aimed at buildings and structures. It covers the essentials of both disciplines, so you could become an architect or an engineer.**<br/><br/>**Learn to balance the perspectives of both disciplines on the longest-established dual accreditation course in the UK.**<br/><br/>Sheffield’s MEng in Structural Engineering and Architecture develops you as both a technical and a creative engineer or an architect. You’ll learn to apply your imagination and so create solutions to the challenges of the built environment in the 21st century – graduating with a masters that has RIBA/ARB accreditation, and fully meets the academic requirement for CEng.<br/><br/>Taught between the Department of Civil and Structural Engineering and the School of Architecture, you’ll collaborate with students from both departments – preparing you for professional relationships in the future.<br/><br/>You’ll take a two year journey through the fundamentals – exploring everything from maths, mechanics, and geotechnics, to humanities and history of architecture. At the same time, you’ll flex your creative design skills through projects in sustainable structural engineering and architecture.<br/><br/>In the final two years, we’ll deepen your technical ability through specialist modules, whilst learning how to integrate your design skills in both disciplines, producing holistic responses to challenges such as working with existing buildings and on international projects. You’ll also get the chance to work on a research project in your final year, developing new knowledge in structural engineering, architecture, or both.<br/><br/>You’ll graduate with a unique understanding of both disciplines, making you exceptionally employable, either as an architect or a structural engineer. Youll be capable of appreciating competing considerations, while able to balance the professional opinion of both disciplines. Our graduates are highly respected and have gone onto leadership positions in leading international engineering and architecture practices.<br/><br/>**Why study this course?**<br/>- **Become a structural engineer, an architect, or both** - the course is accredited by the JBM as a Masters in Structural Engineering and by the RIBA/ARB as a part 1 Architecture course, allowing graduates to go on to work as structural engineers or architects (or both).<br/><br/><br/>- **Get the best from both worlds** - understanding both disciplines gives our graduates the skills required to holistically design sustainable buildings in response to the climate emergency.<br/><br/><br/>- **Unique access to state-of-the-art facilities** - you will have unique access to facilities available to structural engineering students in The Diamond and the architecture design studios in the Arts Tower.<br/><br/><br/>- **The longest running dual accredited course in the UK** - the course has been running since 1995 - making it the first and longest running - dual accredited structural engineering course in the country. As such, we have extensive experience of delivering a dual degree, ensuring you will get the best possible education in both disciplines.<br/>
