Master of Engineering in Architecture University of Leeds, UK

This unique degree integrates creative and technical knowledge in architecture, structural and building services engineering.

Focusing on studio-based architectural design projects, you’ll gain a critical understanding of how science, the arts and society are brought together through creative building design projects. You’ll develop a scientific and creative approach to building design, supported by learning in architectural history and theory, urban design, structures, construction, materials and building physics.

You’ll build in-depth knowledge of architectural principles as well as applied science and technology, exploring creative design issues through drawings and models, developing presentation and computer modelling skills using industry-standard software.

This course is a four-year degree. If you choose to finish after three years, you will graduate with a BEng in Architectural Engineering.
