Architectural Engineering

Shape the built environment of tomorrow with the University of Salford’s BSc (Hons) in Architectural Engineering. This three-year, full-time program equips you with the technical expertise and design creativity to become a well-rounded architectural engineer.

Blend Engineering and Design: This program bridges the gap between architecture and engineering, allowing you to explore the science and technology behind building design while fostering creativity and an understanding of aesthetics and functionality.

Master the Fundamentals: Gain a solid foundation in structural engineering principles, building physics, materials science, building services (HVAC, plumbing, etc.), and sustainable design practices. Develop a strong understanding of building regulations and construction methods.

Design Thinking and Innovation: Hone your creative problem-solving skills and learn to approach design challenges with an innovative mindset. Integrate architectural principles like space planning, user experience, and aesthetics into your engineering solutions.

Software Proficiency: Master industry-standard design and engineering software used for structural analysis, building information modeling (BIM), and architectural visualization.

Project-Based Learning: Develop your skills through engaging architectural engineering projects. Work on collaborative design projects, tackling real-world challenges and applying your theoretical knowledge to practical scenarios.

Professional Preparation: Gain the knowledge and skills necessary to launch your career in architectural engineering. Learn about professional accreditation requirements, develop your communication and teamwork skills, and explore potential career paths within architectural consultancies, engineering firms, construction companies, or even pursue further studies.

Graduates emerge as versatile architectural engineers prepared for diverse careers in various fields, including:

• Structural engineering within architectural firms
• Building services engineering (HVAC, plumbing, etc.)
• Building envelope design and sustainability consulting
• Building information modeling (BIM) specialist
• Construction site engineering and project management
• Further studies in architectural engineering, structural engineering, or related fields (e.g., building science, sustainable design)
