About Architecture Meng, Beng in University of Leeds

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.

• Project work is a key part of all our civil engineering degrees, where you’ll gain valuable hands-on experience. It enables you to develop skills as a researcher, asking and answering important questions about the way our world works.

• Throughout your studies you’ll benefit from a structured support system, with a personal tutor who will offer help and advice about your approach to studying and how to become adept at independent learning.

Specialist facilities

Architectural design project learning is based in a new flexible design studio where, supported by our team of academic and practicing architects and engineers, you will benefit from a collaborative and interactive environment.

In addition to the design studio space, you’ll have access to excellent laboratory facilities as well as extensive library facilities and computing equipment, including industry standard software such as Revit (Building Information Modelling), IES (dynamic thermal modelling) and Robot (structural analysis). The laboratory facilities, which are among the best in the UK, include specialist facilities for structures, materials, public health engineering, building services and geotechnics.

Fieldwork

During this course you will have the opportunity to attend a residential surveying field course in year one and a residential architectural study period in a European city in year three.

We hope to run our fieldwork activities as planned for the 21/22 academic year, but it might not be possible due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We are continually reviewing the situation and will communicate any decisions to applicants and offer holders at the earliest possible opportunity.
