BEng (Hons) Architectural Engineering

Program Overview

Architectural engineers apply engineering principles to the construction, planning, and design of buildings and their structures. They often work with other engineers and with architects to focus on function layout or aesthetics of building projects. In developing countries, a large enough pool of high quality, accredited architectural engineering graduates are needed as demand for engineers is significantly increasing which result to attract direct foreign investment, offshore outsourcing from developed country, multinational corporation organisations.

Architectural Engineering degree prepares the students with the principles and practise used in structures, designs, environmental design such as lightings and acoustics within a building, structure or complex with creative ideas. The architectural engineering helps students to become conceptual thinkers and will be well prepared to be qualified professionals to produce integrated and sustainable designs by working together with architects, artists and other professionals within multidisciplinary engineering environment. Students are also required to undertake a self-selected project. The students will have a Supervisor assigned to them post agreement of the topic.

Entry Requirements

Completion of the Diploma in Engineering (Architectural) Level 4 and Advanced Diploma in Engineering (Architectural) Level 5 (equivalent to HND) of the STIMU programme will allow entry onto the Level 6 award.

Holders of other Level 5 awards in a relevant engineering discipline will be considered for entry to Level 6

Applicants with relevant work experience may be considered on a case-by-case basis for Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)

IELTS (5.5 overall, 5 individual) or equivalent qualifications
