Architectural Engineering

About this course

Architectural engineering is the discipline that brings rigorous engineering science to the challenge of designing and operating buildings that are safe, efficient, comfortable, and sustainable. Where architecture focuses primarily on design and aesthetics, architectural engineering addresses the technical systems that make buildings function: structure, environmental control, energy performance, lighting, acoustics, and the integration of smart building technologies. As the imperative to reduce the built environment's carbon footprint intensifies, and as climate change makes buildings more vulnerable to extreme conditions, the skills of the architectural engineer are more important than ever. At the University of Leeds, this four-year, full-time programme develops your understanding of structural analysis, building physics, energy systems, environmental design, and the technical and co
