Architectural Engineering MEng at University of Sheffield

On this course, you'll study all the engineering disciplines associated with buildings and their infrastructure, and develop an understanding of architectural thinking and practice.

There is an increasing demand for building systems engineers who can provide multidisciplinary skills at the interface of engineering and architecture. You'll become the kind of engineer that recognises social responsibility and holistic thinking, ready to develop career engineering high-quality buildings that have minimal impact on the environment.

Civil engineering is at the forefront of improving the way we live. Whether it's providing the facilities that keep our day-to-day lives running smoothly - from roads and railways to clean water supplies - or working to meet the ever-changing needs of our society in the areas of sustainability, renewable energy and climate change, you'll be helping to create and protect the world we live in.

Structural engineers design and construct multi-storey buildings, bridges, sports stadiums, tunnels, airports and schools. As a structural engineer, you'll be helping to shape the world around us. Our courses give you a fundamental understanding of how loads and stresses, gravity, vibrations, the external environment and ground conditions affect structures.

Our graduates work all over the world, from the UK to Australia and the USA. Recent graduates went to work for AECOM, Arup, Atkins, Buro Happold, Eastwood & Partners, Interserve, Mott MacDonald, Network Rail, Ramboll, Transport for London, URS, Kier and VolkerFitzpatrick Ltd.

All our courses prepare you for a wide variety of engineering professions. You'll be able to apply your knowledge and skills to fields as diverse as the built environment, sustainability and improving the environment. These are just some examples of the engineering disciplines you could go on to: railway, airport, geotechnical, architectural, coastal or offshore, environmental, Building Information Modelling (BIM), water and flood risk management engineering.

In addition, architectural engineering graduates might go into a broad range of engineering areas ranging from building services to mechanical, electrical or acoustic engineering.

Urban engineering and development graduates might be interested in fields as diverse as aid and charity work, environmental consultancy, social justice work, real estate, civil service, teaching, intelligent marketing or the financial services.
