Overview

This is a unique degree programme in collaboration with the Glasgow School of Art. The architectural component is entirely design-oriented, studio-based and directed towards the production of sketches, drawings and models and their compilation into a portfolio

The Civil Engineering with Architecture course at the University of Glasgow is focused around problem based learning and our students enjoy tackling design projects in all years of the programme. 

You will study the same courses in the first three years whether you are on the BEng or MEng degree programme. Both embed creativity to develop world changing engineers.

Programme Structure

Course Overview:

  • In your first year, you will take a wide-ranging curriculum which includes courses in architecture, civil engineering, mathematics, dynamics, electronics, materials, statics, thermodynamics and engineering skills. These courses are supported by individual and group project work and laboratory work. 
  • This interdisciplinary approach, favoured by industry, also makes it possible to switch to most other engineering disciplines at the end of year 1 should you wish to do so.  
  • You will take a range of courses within civil and structural engineering, and architecture. We place considerable emphasis on practical work, in the form of laboratory classes, physical and computational modelling exercises, project work, surveying fieldwork, design projects and site visits. In year 3 you will take part in a multi-disciplinary design project.
