Structural Engineering with Architecture

The Structural Engineering with Architecture degree at UCD is a two-part degree, with an initial three-year bachelor’s degree followed by a two-year master’s degree, focusing primarily on the design of structures. The programme’s aim is to develop an appreciation for architecture coupled with the solid fundamentals of an engineering degree. This will enable graduates to challenge the traditional boundaries of structural design. The Structural Engineering with Architecture course is structured as a 3-year undergraduate BSc programme, followed by a 2-year taught graduate ME programme. Students who do not wish to progress onto the ME pathway, or who do not qualify for progression, at the end of Year 3 can exit their studies with a BSc degree. Professional Work Experience (PWE) is incorporated into the 4th year of the integrated ME Structural Engineering with Architecture programme. Eight-month internships (the majority of which are paid) have included the following employers: Arup, Meinhardt (London), OBA Consulting Engineers, O’Connor Sutton Cronin, Thornton Tomasetti (New York), Walls Construction and Waterman Moylan.
