Queen's University BelfastBelfast, United Kingdom

Course overview

Structural Engineering with Architecture is concerned with the planning, design, construction, sustainability, management, energy use, aesthetics and rehabilitation of the built environment. Fields of activity include architectural design, structures, foundations, building technology, urban space and form and architecture. Structural engineers require not only technical skills, but are also concerned with working in, and managing, multidisciplinary design teams.

You will have the opportunity to tailor your studies according to your skills and interest after a common first year with our three complementary pathway programmes: • Civil Engineering • Structural Engineering with Architecture • Environmental and Civil Engineering However you choose to specialise, you’ll be tackling some of the biggest challenges of the modern world, such as achieving sustainable living in an increasingly urbanised society. As the demands on resources such as water, energy and land increase, there will be a strong need for qualified Structural and Civil Engineers with the relevant technical skills to meet the challenges which lie ahead, but who also possess an ethical awareness of the environmental impact of the projects they undertake. Structural Engineering with Architecture is one of a family of Civil Engineering degrees at Queen's University Belfast.

Civil Engineering was one of the founding degrees at Queen's, making it one of the oldest in the UK and Ireland. However, it remains one of the most sought-after careers with the potential to solve the challenges facing modern society.
