What programs does STI offer?

We offer Foundation, Diploma, Bachelor's, and Master's programs across Engineering, Business, Computing & IT, Data Science & AI, Public Health, Hospitality & Tourism, and Design & Multimedia. All UK-validated.

Is the degree recognised internationally?

Yes. All STI programs are validated and awarded by the University of Bedfordshire, a UK university regulated by the Office for Students. Graduates receive the same degree as on-campus UK students and are eligible for global postgraduate opportunities, including Master's at top universities worldwide.

How do I apply and what are the entry requirements?

Apply online through our website. Entry requirements vary by program level — typically a high school completion (Matriculation, IGCSE, or equivalent) for undergraduate programs. Submit your documents and an advisor will verify your eligibility within 24 hours.

BEng (Hons) Civil Architectural Engineering

Program Overview

Civil & Architectural engineers apply civil engineering principles to the construction, architectural planning, and design of buildings and their structures. They often work with other engineers and with architects to focus on the function, layout, and aesthetics of building projects. They are needed to ensure that building projects are properly planned, costed, and meet the needs of the project, while taking into account engineering and architectural principles. In developing countries, a large pool of high quality, accredited civil architectural engineering graduates are needed as demand for engineers is significantly increasing due to the investment and development opportunities emerging in these nations.

Civil & Architectural Engineering degree prepares students through engagement with the fundamental concepts and practise used in structures and designs, and opportunities to innovate and be creative within these contexts. There is a focus on environmental design through the study of lightings and acoustics within building, structure or complex. The idea of combining civil engineering with architecture supports to design the creative structures. In collaboration with appreciation of architecture and civil engineering helps students to become conceptual thinkers who will be well prepared to be qualified professionals to produce integrated and sustainable designs by working together with architects, artists and other professionals within a multidisciplinary engineering environment. Students are also required to undertake a self-selected project, to develop their skills to work autonomously at a high level.

Entry Requirements

Completion of the Diploma in Engineering (Civil & Architectural) Level 4 and Advanced Diploma in Engineering (Civil & 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
