Architectural Environment Engineering including an Industrial Year MEng

About

Studying Architectural Environment Engineering gives you the skills and knowledge to directly reduce the carbon footprint of the built environment. You will develop the expertise to shape the design of smart and sustainable buildings. You'll learn about renewable energy generation, smart controls, thermal comfort (heating, cooling and ventilation), the acoustics of spaces and lighting design.

Our dedicated facilities include fluid and thermodynamics labs, renewable energy research workshops and collaborative engineering studios that mirror professional practice and promote peer learning. You’ll also have access to the Creative Energy Homes, a real-world laboratory for testing energy efficient building technologies. In your third year, your industrial placement will enhance your skills and give you direct experience of the challenges and innovations in the field.

Support will be provided throughout the process, from preparing applications and interviews to settling into your placement. Academic staff will remain closely involved through regular visits and ongoing contact, making sure your professional experience complements your academic development.

This course also prepares you for Chartered Engineer status once you complete the necessary training and experience.

Alternative qualifications

We recognise that applicants have a wealth of different experiences and follow a variety of pathways into higher education.

BTEC Nationals (without A Levels)

The entry requirements for alternative qualifications can be quite specific; for example, you may need to take certain modules and achieve a specified grade in those modules. Please contact us to discuss the transferability of your qualification. Please also see the alternative qualifications page for more information.

Where an offer is made, our standard requirements are:

RQF Level 3 BTEC National Diploma in Engineering or Science and A Levels – D*D + A in A Level Maths

BTEC National Extended Certificate in Engineering and A Levels – D + AA including A Level Maths

Extended Project Qualification (EPQ)

If you have already achieved your EPQ at grade A you will automatically be offered one grade lower in a non-mandatory A level subject. If you are still studying for your EPQ you will receive the standard course offer, and also an alternate offer with a condition of one grade lower in a non-mandatory A level subject if you achieve an A grade in your EPQ. If you qualify for a contextual offer, your EPQ will be taken into consideration and the appropriate adjustment will be made to your offer. Please note that if you qualify for an enhanced contextual offer, your EPQ will not be taken into consideration as we are unable to make any further adjustments to your offer.
