Architectural Engineering

Our Architectural Engineering programme offers a comprehensive education in engineering maths, science and technology, materials and environment and structures.

Skills

Graduate with an advanced set of skills and professional expertise, ready for industry. 

Architectural Engineers integrate engineering principles with architectural design to ensure buildings are structurally sound, energy-efficient, and sustainable. Their responsibilities include collaborating with architects to develop detailed structural, mechanical, and electrical systems that support the building's design. Architectural Engineers perform technical analyses, create specifications, and ensure compliance with building codes and safety regulations. They focus on optimizing the building's performance in terms of safety, comfort, and environmental impact.

Throughout your time at Roehampton, you will develop your technical expertise, problem-solving, communication, and leadership skills. You will graduate ready to excel in the dynamic field of Architectural Engineering. 

Learning

You will learn via a combination of lectures, workshops, group seminars, group tutorials, and practical experimentation.

As much as possible, students will be taught in interdisciplinary groups, in open studio spaces, on projects, however there will still be some formal lectures in order to deliver discipline relevant knowledge, skills and attributes. 

Assessment

You’ll be set authentic assessments, meaning that your projects, tasks and exercises will replicate the working world of architectural engineering.

You will be assessed on a variety of things which will include the submission of technical reports, lab reports, essays, in-class open and closed book tests, online assessments, and oral presentations. The programme includes both formative assessment, with respect to interim reviews and feedback / feedforward and summative assessment. 

Careers

There are a number of opportunities for graduates of Architectural Engineering in the built environment sector, internationally, nationally, and regionally.

Many Architectural Engineer professionals work in sustainability departments of architectural, engineering and sustainability practices. Architectural Engineering professionals can also specialise in energy calculations, building simulation, environmental and ecological consultancy services, Virtual and Augmented Reality, visualisation, digital scanning and digital fabrication, project and construction management, and Design & Build services.
