The Bachelor of Architectural Engineering is completed over 4 years of full-time study at Edinburgh, with September intake. Expand each year for modules and programme detail.
Year one introduces mechanics, construction technology for small scale buildings, shaping tomorrow together, and mathematics for engineers and scientists. You build foundational structural, construction, and mathematical skills for architectural engineering study, preparing for design projects and building technology in years two and three.
| Module title |
|---|
| Mechanics A |
| Construction Technology: Small Scale Buildings |
| Shaping Tomorrow Together A |
| Mathematics for Engineers and Scientists 1 |
Year two develops acoustics and architectural design, a design project, and construction technology covering structure and fabric. Modules combine creative design with structural and construction knowledge, building skills for building services, thermal performance, and professional architectural engineering roles.
| Module title |
|---|
| Acoustics and Architectural Design |
| Design Project |
| Construction Technology: Structure and Fabric |
Year three covers a laboratory project, electrical and lighting services for buildings, thermal performance studies, and design software applications. You develop practical laboratory, services, and software skills valued by construction and building engineering employers, preparing for the collaborative design project in year four.
| Module title |
|---|
| Laboratory Project |
| Electrical and Lighting Services for Buildings |
| Thermal Performance Studies |
| Design Software Applications |
Year four begins with a collaborative design project across all built environment disciplines. You produce a building design addressing a specific client brief, covering building form, design, services, sustainability, cost, and planning. This highlight progresses into individual discipline-specific project work and an individual research dissertation on a topic of your choice, consolidating advanced architectural engineering knowledge.
