Structural Engineering with Architecture

Structural engineering with architecture is concerned with the planning, design, construction, sustainability, management, energy use, aesthetics and rehabilitation of the built environment. fields of activity include architectural design, structures, foundations, building technology, urban space and form and architecture. structural engineers require not only technical skills, but are also concerned with working in, and managing, multidisciplinary design teams. structural engineering with architecture is one of a family of civil engineering degrees at queen's university belfast. civil engineering was one of the founding degrees at queen's, making it one of the oldest in the uk and ireland. lecturers lead high-quality research, which is reflected in their excellence in teaching.

All of our structural and civil engineering degrees come with the option of a placement year in industry. you can spend up to 12 months getting hands on experience of a real engineering environment with a relevant company. students have gained work placements with organisations such as arup, aecom, design id, wyg, mott macdonald, jacobs, mclaughlin & harvey, farrans, graham, and bsg civil engineering. all major building projects require structural engineers for concept, design and construction. they complement the expertise of architects and, with their broad knowledge of structures, materials and services, structural engineering with architecture graduates are ideally suited to this role. they may also expect to find employment in the expanding area of civil engineering, building management, maintenance and refurbishment.

All major building projects require input from structural engineers during both design and construction. these engineers complement the expertise of the architect and, with their broad knowledge of structures, materials and services, graduates from the structural engineering with architecture degree course are ideally suited to this role. they may also expect to find employment in the expanding area of building management, maintenance and refurbishment. our engineering graduates are also to be found in many other areas of employment where the skills and discipline of evaluating facts, decision making and management have provided them with the basis for rewarding and interesting careers. studying for a civil engineering degree at queen’s will assist you in developing the core skills and employment-related experiences that are valued by employers, professional organisations and academic institutions. graduates from this degree at queen’s are well regarded by many employers (local, national and international) and over half of all graduate jobs are now open to graduates of any discipline, including civil engineering. although the majority of our graduates are interested in pursuing careers in civil engineering significant numbers develop careers in a wide range of other sectors.

Work while you study

You can also work on a UK student visa, from 10 to 20 hours per week during the academic year, 40 hours per week or full-time during vacations.

Partnerships
