Architect vs engineer
It'll give you invaluable project experience and a feel for the kind of issues you may encounter in your career. You'll investigate new design methods and construction materials while developing detailed designs such as elegant bridges, sustainable and environmentally sensitive multi-storey buildings, or state-of-the-art sports venues. The project encourages you to unleash your creativity on a grand scale by devising plans for an entire urban regeneration project based on a real site in Sheffield.

You'll also develop and carry out a research project.ĭuring your third year, you'll spend a full semester doing the Integrated Design Project. Your final two years allow you to study specialised and advanced modules that focus on structural analysis and design, alongside studio-based practical architectural design projects, project management, and environment and technology modules. Your initial architectural modules cover humanities and a history of architecture and the basics of architectural design. Your first two years of study cover the fundamentals of each profession, including engineering maths, mechanics, geotechnics, materials, and structural design. You'll be capable of appreciating competing considerations, while able to balance the professional opinion of both disciplines. Your unique understanding of both disciplines makes you highly skilled and employable. The course develops architectural and engineering skills in an integrated manner. This dual course combines the essentials of an architecture and a structural engineering degree so you could become an architect or an engineer.
