Overview

This undergraduate degree program at Cardiff University integrates structural engineering, architectural design, and building services to prepare students to create efficient built environments. Learners examine fundamental civil engineering principles alongside sustainable construction practices, exploring how modern buildings are planned, designed, and maintained. Combining theoretical instruction with practical laboratory work and studio-based exercises equips future engineers to address contemporary infrastructure and environmental challenges.

What You'll Learn

• Engineering mathematics, computation, and structural analysis theory

• Core principles of hydraulics, soil mechanics, and geotechnical engineering

• Architectural design practice, history of architecture, and building modeling techniques

• Digital, computational, and sustainable civil engineering methods

• Applied engineering design through collaborative interdisciplinary team projects

Learning Outcomes

Graduates demonstrate the technical ability to design and evaluate structural and building service solutions using modern computational and analytical tools. Students gain practical experience in conducting surveying activities, executing laboratory testing, and solving complex, real-world engineering problems. Ultimately, learners develop the project management, teamwork, and communication skills necessary to work effectively within multi-disciplinary engineering teams and professional built-environment sectors.
