About Architectural Engineering Beng (hons) in University of Liverpool

The Architectural Engineering degree is a multidisciplinary degree, encompassing civil engineering and architecture. It is jointly delivered by the School of Engineering and the School of Architecture.

This is a vocational programme which aims to provide the educational base for graduates who wish to work at the intersection of architecture and structural engineering. They will be graduates who are practical, articulate, numerate, literate, imaginative, versatile, confident and inquisitive.

The degree programme will provide you with a multidisciplinary skill set to design building structures, bridges and critical infrastructure incorporating both the solid technical grounding that a typical civil/structural engineering degree provides alongside a robust and wider appreciation of the architectural, societal, economic and environmental aspects associated to a particular design solution.

The BEng and MEng programmes are accredited by the Joint Board of Moderators, which represents the four major civil engineering institutions and accredits civil engineering programmes on behalf of the Engineering Council, which sets and maintains the standards for the engineering profession in the UK. The MEng degree is
accredited as fully satisfying the educational base for Chartered Engineer (CEng). The BEng degree is accredited as: (i) fully satisfying the educational base for an Incorporated Engineer (IEng) and (ii) partially satisfying the educational base for a Chartered Engineer (CEng). A programme of accredited further learning will be required to complete the educational base for CEng. See jbm.org.uk for further information and details of further learning programmes for CEng.

The BEng programme (HK26) shares the same modules as the MEng programme (HK28) during all three years of study. Students taking the BEng programme, who have reached the required academic standard in their studies, are eligible to transfer to the MEng programme at the end of their Year Two.
