Civil Engineering with Architectural Design and Industrial Placement Year - MEng (Hons)

University of Southampton

Combine civil engineering with architecture, and explore their importance in developing sustainable, urban areas. If you're interested in a career in structural engineering design, this course is for you. You’ll specialise in architecture and urban design, as well as studying structural and geomechanical engineering. You’ll also develop key design and manufacturing skills.In the first two years, you'll develop a solid grounding in the fundamental engineering science, as well as the basis of civil engineering. You'll be introduced to key design skills, such as sketching model-making and computing, through workshops and through design projects.In your third year, you'll specialise in civil engineering with a focus on urban design, and develop your knowledge of structures and geotechnics. In year 4, you’ll put architectural principles into practice through design projects and study project economics and management.The Industrial Placement Year is an additional year-long module that allows you to apply for a placement with an engineering-based organisation, and extends your degree to five years. During your year-long placement, you will fulfil the role of a trainee engineer on a full-time basis.
